Trial 4
The justice system has been known to do a lot of good, but it also has a reputation for making some significant mistakes, some of which aren’t really mistaken at all, just reckless acts of hate disguised as a half-hearted attempt at actual Justice. The docuseries on Netflix titled Trial 4 introduces subscribers to a chilling case of a man unjustly convicted of a murder he did not commit. The reasons behind his incarceration are utterly shocking as well as incredibly disheartening.
Trial 4 focuses on a man, Sean K. Ellis, who was accused in 1993 of killing a Boston police officer by the name of John J. Mulligan when he was just a teenager. Remy Burkhel directs a riveting set of entries in the Netflix documentary series that showcases Ellis’s struggle to maintain his innocence and fight with everything he has to clear his name.
Along the way, jaw-dropping revelations come to light exposing a robust amount of corruption within the justice system as well as widespread, systematic racism facilitating unjust convictions, enabling hate to spread, and ruining the lives of innocent people and their families.
Each of the exceptional eight entries in this enthralling Netflix series are well-crafted, engaging, and undeniably gripping, making Trial 4 a solid choice for those looking for a new docuseries to enjoy.
