Thoughts on Stolen Voices Buried Secrets

While watching American Chopper on tlc I saw a advertisement for this new show Stolen Voices Buried Secrets. The main plot of this show is basically your average csi show were they go over the case with interviews of the cops and family of the victim but the main twist for this show is that you get the narration and thoughts from the victim. While watching this show I thought it had a interesting concept but after the show ended, I had a HUGE problem with the show. When they found out who the killer was and why he did it was my main problem on this show. He explains that he asked he out and she rejected him and that i did not have a problem with because as he says he lost it but the main problem is that he says she pushed him when she rejected him, so that got me to thinking what makes this show different is not the narration of the victim but it is a show all about perception. Like every show before it they have interviews with the family and friends which of course their views are going to be biased due how close they were. But they do not show if she was really like that, which is just like all other kinds of csi type shows but she could have been the girl that is rude and snobby to people. So why do I think that she was this type of girl because they show her as a innocent girl who could do no wrong that lives in a small town who worked at a pool where her body was found, now the guy said he had hit on her and she rejected him  but what could have happened is that she could have been rude and made fun of him all the time with her friends or without is up to you but maybe he put up with it because he liked her and after she rejected him she could have made fun of him some more and even the guy says she pushed him and that's where he lost it, and to me that makes perfect sense because of the show. They act like she was pure and innocent and yet the viewer or anybody would not know any better and especially how her narration acts and with her tone becoming mean and nasty they show that he admits he did it and she says that her murderer could not look at the pictures they had of her body and how disgusted he was now in the video his head was in his hands as he was crying so to me that shows it is not his fault entirely and she could have been the cause of her own murder and yet they act like she was innocent and he was a cold ruthless killer who got life. so that's my main problem with this show it only shows the view of the victim and their family and friend  and a few with cops, now i know they cant interview him and only get one side of the story. Will I try to watch it again, maybe just to see if they do it again or try to show both sides, so who knows. Overall I give this show a 3/10.
