Sensationalising -101

I have just watched a documentary about AJ Bannister. I have very mixed feelings about the decision to have even made the documentary.

While I believe everyone deserves a fair trial and I do not condone injustices - I feel martyring this person's life given the history of his previous crimes and the one that eventually resulted in his death sentence to be doing an injustice to those that are put to death when they haven't committed any crime apart, but were merely in the wrong place at the wrong time.

What could be the good sense in muddying the waters of the hard fight to free innocent people from a life behind bars, or worse, death.
