The show plays with the narratives a lot, giving first very positive views into the relationship of Sally and Ray, twisting them then in seeing that the relationship was far from being perfect and that there was a lot of abuse going on, explaining both sides of the story with a lot of insight of different people. However, it's the small details you pick up that clearly tell you this is fishy.
Clear is that both had aggression issues and probably aggrevated each other constantly in arguments. Sally also was very protective over her children and her marriage but there is a fine difference between being aggressive and disrespectful and beating up your step children, choking your wife and making a person blind by pressing their eyeballs in with your own fingers.
I am happy that Daniel Goldstein was in this documentary and showed his true face. Comments like that a muscular woman could easily just defend herself and clearly can't be abused and that Sally will sure say things like "I didn't do anything wrong and I regret nothing" just show how r*tten he is in the inside and that he never tried to understand this woman. The friends of Ray going from "I saw him do really evil stuff" to "oh he was just a really big goof ball and could never hurt her" was ridiculous to watch.
Is it okay that she killed him? No, absolutely not. It is however very clear that she did get abused? Yes. The explanation of the autopsy of him laying down on the floor and her pressing in the second shot to secure the kill just by seeing the blood splattered on the inside of the lamp is completely wild to me, as if he couldn't have been falling down after he got shot the second time and the blood splattering on the lamps inside when he landed on the floor. The news media in the 90s being absolutely disgusting with this case too. The children getting striked from the court because they cried too much instead of letting them speak up about their experience in the household. There is just so much that went wrong in this trial with so many people not doing their job correct and I am happy that Netflix picked it up and showed it to the world.
