The 12th Victim (2023)
Not entirely factual
4 January 2024
I thought this documentary would be good but they "Hollywoodized" it too much. They also state "facts" which are not true. (Sticks, etc. Inside Carol King - not found in autopsy. Starkweather actually had an IQ of 110, not 90 as stated).
For a better read on whether Caril Ann Fugate is guilty or innocent, read "Starkweather" by Harry N. MacLean. He presents the crime, the trials and evidence in a coherent manner. He also presents psychological information that wasn't known about in 1958.
Truth is Caril Ann was railroaded by lawmen and a terrible court system. She rarely deviated her account of what occurred where Starkweather lied at every opportunity.
