3 1/2 minutes, 10 Bullets

Documentary on shooting of black teenagers in Jacksonville by irate white guy who claimed he felt threatened when teenagers didn't turn down music and told him to fuck off.  Killer says he thought he saw shotguy.

Brave testimony by man's fiancee who says she never heard him, in the time they spent together after they fled, mention a shotgun or any weapon.

First trial ends with mistrial on murder, but conviction of attempted murder for firing at three other boys in car who didn't have weapons.  Weird verdict.

Retrial. Conviction of first degree murder. Life.

Netflix Lincoln Lawyer

 Just a long yawner.  Acting was fine; there just wasn't nearly enough plot to carry 10 episodes.  Tech guy accused of killing wife.  LL takes on the case after the tech lawyer's first lawyer is murdered.  Mickey Haller gets the guy off . . . trick is the guy is guilty.  He used a drone to dispose of bloody clothes.  Subplot Maggy McFierce trying to get a conviction of a human trafficker.  She loses but then wins.  The divorced couple almost gets back together, but they are on opposite sides of the adversarial process and work comes first.  Won't be in a hurry to watch Season 2

Brotherhood

 Showtime -- Providence, two brothers, one aspiring politician the other a crook.  Totally different, but not so much.  Cop (close friend as child) is investigating crooked brother.  Pretty good series.
