It was a very interesting documentary but not for everyone's taste. There's a short line in the beginning from one of the interviewees that makes it known that the case remains unresolved. I hate that because recently. All I seem to watch is documentaries that never resolve the central question.
But the Argentinian justice - oi vey! Other that some muddled DNA there is no clear or even decent forensic evidence. And the way charges are brought without forensic evidence, witnesses or motive is quite frankly, scary. Then bringing in the cartels as motive without a scintilla of evidence. Instead of outlawing double jeopardy, it seems that an overzealous prosecutor can keep indicting people at various courts until you find one that will rule the defendant guilty.
I'm also unclear how people can be charged with cover up without establishing that a crime was committed by those same people.
Overall, I still enjoyed it and like my title says, I'm thankful for the US Justice system, warts and all.
*One side note: The English subtitles weren't very good as evidenced by many clumsy translations that used odd words and expressions.
