The Best True Crime Documentary -- The Elite 8 REDUX
Get ready to vote -- again -- for your top four true crime documentaries.
At first blush this post may seem a bit… familiar. Didn’t we just do this round of voting in the True Crime Bracket? Well, loyal reader, you are not wrong. Unfortunately, Above the Law experienced a database meltdown last week, which meant the data tables got out of sync and some plugin data was lost, including these polls. So rather than try and fudge the results, we are re-running the Elite Eight and I’m dying to know which of these great entries will advance to the Final Four.
We are down to our Elite Eight (again). And there are four great matchups across the two sides of the bracket —- and two Cinderellas are still alive. So without further ado, let’s get down to voting.
(1) The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst v. (4) Making A Murderer
How Savvy Lawyers Build Their Law Firm Rate Sheet
Two classics of the medium are going head to head here. Which will you vote for: Robert Durst’s arrogance or Steven Avery’s legal woes?

- The Jinx (55%, 251 Votes)
- Making A Murderer (45%, 206 Votes)
