Flip it around, teacher kills himself after chargers are brought over alleged child abuse. He’s not found guilty as not prosecuted
I watched an interesting documentary on Netflix about an NFL player Aaron Hernandez (worth a watch) - he was found guilty, and certainly was, but as he committed suicide after placing an appeal he’ll always be “presumed innocent” for eternity.

What this has to do with CF I don’t know - but thought I’d share anyway laugh

'worth a watch' but then you state almost all of the story ark for a fairly new show so viewers who don't know his story won't be anywhere near as intrigued as you go along as to what happens next - nice one.

I get that it's theoretically silly to have spoilers on a non fiction TV show but not a lot of people follow American sports/news so wouldn't necessarily know how it all ends - same with making a murderer, the not knowing makes it 10x better, if you lived locally it would be a boring show.

Just watching them live in 1994, how different the world is now and for the worse. Amazing to think near 30 years back we socialised, enjoyed actual music and it was far better

Actor Micheal Medwin, 96, so a good innings.

Didn't realise he had been in so much.
