Feature-length documentary hears from all sides, but are we any wiser after this rather plodding rehearsal of the facts?

You might feel that you know everything there is to know about the Jason Corbett killing, which occurred in August 2015. In the years since, we have had a trial, an appeal, a plea bargain, two books and two orphaned children being uprooted from their homes. Media coverage has been extensive.
Now we have A Deadly American Marriage from Netflix, which takes one and three quarter hours to cover the case of Jason Corbett, a Limerick man killed in North Carolina by his wife, Molly Martens Corbett, and his father-in-law, Tom Martens. There are interviews with Jason Corbett’s children, Jack and Sarah, now young adults. There are interviews with Jason Corbett’s sister Tracey Lynch and her husband David, who took Jack and Sarah back to Ireland after their father’s death. There are interviews with Molly Martens and Tom Martens. With police officers and attorneys. Everyone is talking.
