I remember when CBS did a made-for-TV movie on child serial killer Wayne Williams in which they left open the possibility he was just a poor innocent black man railroaded by “whitey”.
But when he was arrested, the child murders stopped.
Never get your history lessons from Hollywood!
It probably shouldn’t surprise anyone that Hollywood tends to downplay rape, murder, pedophilia and the like.
They put pictures of Reagan on the walls for their Wayne Williams defense picture. It was grotesque, but so CBS.
