This documentary could have been better. Mostly just a bunch of old footage. This doc has quite a few missing pieces. This isn't the quality documentary that Netflix usually brings us. Cynthia's story deserved a much better presentation.

Murder to Mercy- not the best
IS GOOD BECAUSE IT MATTERS!
Good documentary. Yes, I miss more details of the story here and there, but isn't that always the case in crime documentaries?
A must see for fans of crime .
Some of these other reviews...
It's not the best documentary, I'll admit, but it's adequate to tell Cyntoia's story. Anyway, re: other reviewers' comments: doc subjects should not, and most often are not, "compensated" for appearing or cooperating. And the "rule of law" DOES allow for states' governors to commute sentences in the (long-term) interest of justice, which does not infer innocence, nor that the original charge/trial/verdict or sentence itself was unfair or unjust. Anybody who thinks that Cyntoia's 15 years in prison represents her "getting away" with the crime needs their head examined. The title says it accurately: A person who had committed a murder ultimately was granted a bit of mercy.
