Best True Crime Documentary — The Final Four

Which one do you think is the greatest True Crime documentary of them all?

We’re down to the top four true crime documentaries in Above the Law’s March Madness bracket / ode to Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. This last round of voting was the closest yet — we’re talking a single digit margin of victory in the case of the classic 1996 documentary Paradise Lost advancing over the more recent Evil Genius.

We have some great matchups in this round. Will Robert Durst’s arrogance propel The Jinx to the finals? Will the unsolved murder (and potential cover-up) of Sister Cathy Cesnik give The Keepers an upset win? Will the potential miscarriage of justice the West Memphis Three likely suffered make you cast your vote for Paradise Lost? Will the sheer shock factor of Abducted In Plain Sight keep that movie’s Cinderella run alive?

Only you can decide the answers to these pressing questions, so let’s get down to the voting.

(1) The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst v. (7) The Keepers 

[poll id=”767″]

(2) Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills v. (12) Abducted In Plain Sight

[poll id=”770″]

Polls are open until noon eastern on Tuesday. Happy voting!
