Amazon's Idaho College Murders Documentary Is Better Than Peacock's — Except in the Ways It Isn't

Two can be a crowd when it comes to documentaries, and that proves true when analyzing the horrific 2022 University of Idaho killings. On Thursday, July 3, Peacock released its feature-length documentary The Idaho Student Murders. Eight days later, on Friday, Amazon's Prime Video released all four episodes of its documentary series One Night in Idaho: The College Murders. The two projects cover the same awful incident — in which Washington State University Ph.D in criminology candidate Bryan Kohberger brutally murdered Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin with a knife — but in pretty different ways. Notice I didn't say in 'disparate' ways, because I am definitely about to compare and contrast these docs. More from The Hollywood Reporter Kenny and Kaylor Hope 'Love Island USA' Fans "Can Relate to Us More" in 'Beyond the Villa' 'Poker Face' Boss Rian Johnson Delighted in That Finale Cliffhanger Tease: "Peacock Was a Little Nervous" Where to Watch 'One Night in Idaho: The College Murders' and Pre-Order the Book Behind the Series For starters, one is a 90-minute, continuous documentary film and the other is 172 minutes cut four ways — no one on either side of the competing projects can take issue with that observation. But in noticeable ways, the Prime Video docuseries directed by Liz Garbus and Matthew Galkin is superior to Peacock's doc, which was directed by Catharine Park. It is more entertaining (entertainment value feels like an awful way to judge true crime — but crime or not, it's true) and has much deeper access to the victims' friends and family members, who say much more interesting things about their deceased loved ones. Whereas the main storytellers in Amazon's docuseries are those closest to the victims, in the Peacock doc, author Howard Blum (When the Night Comes Falling: A Requiem for the Idaho Student Murders), a retired FBI special agent who worked on the case, and some unaffiliated attorneys carry the narrative. The Idaho Student Murders feels closer to the looming court case — it better tackles crime scene detail, Kohberger's personal history, his alibi and even the procurement of the murder weapon. Whereas One Night in Idaho is closer to the people. In a crowded media ecosystem, it is the personal stories that break through — especially when the court case never happens. At first blush, it would appear that Peacock's first-mover advantage here is, well, an advantage. But I don't think that's true. The Peacock doc actually wasn't even yet dated for release when Kohberger changed his plea to guilty; the streamer rushed the film out to meet the moment, a person with knowledge said. It was probably the right choice, but there was no avoiding the fact that the doc's open-ended legalese was now obsolete. The nature of The Idaho Student Murders allows more for the outside shot that Kohberger may be innocent of the heinous crimes — a plea of 'Not Guilty' had originally been submitted on Kohberger's behalf — but by the time of the Peacock release, we (very freshly) knew he definitively was not not guilty. Kohberger struck a surprise plea deal to avoid the death penalty, which just a few months ago was reverted back to the firing-squad technique by order of the Idaho governor. None of that is the filmmaker's fault, of course: Kohberger's trial had been set to start one month after her doc was released, and Peacock, owned by NBCUniversal, which itself is owned by Comcast, is not in the business of getting sued over libelous content. But once Kohberger confessed — the evidence against him is overwhelming — it made Park's attempts at impartiality obsolete. It also meant that Park had to scramble to get the latest update (and quotes from a few of the families) into a new end-title card. Garbus and Galkin had an extra week or so to tidy theirs up. There are other numerous ways in which One Night in Idaho: The College Murders outshines The Idaho Student Murders. Like, for example, the lighting. Peacock's documentary was produced in connection with a podcast, and while I don't exactly know how to say this, that's exactly what it looks like. Even the format of One Night in Idaho (Amazon) makes for a more engrossing viewership experience, and a cliffhanger looming over the end of each episode encourages binge-viewing. The Idaho Student Murders (Peacock) does not lack for climactic moments — the story (and the need to edit into and out of ad breaks) guarantees that — but they just don't hit the same. To be fair, both the platforms and studios involved reflect the differing level of production. The lead production companies on One Night in Idaho: The College Murders are Amazon MGM Studios and Skydance Television. How big are they? Well, Amazon is a top-four (worldwide) company by market cap, and Skydance is about to effectively buy Paramount Global. The Idaho Student Murders was produced by KT Studios and iHeartMedia — both primarily deal in the audio format. For what it's worth, I bet it made for a hell of a podcast.

DeSoto police arrest man after chase, find illegal device on corvette

The Brief A man with an active felony warrant was arrested after a high-speed police chase in DeSoto, Texas, on Saturday night. The suspect, Dario Franco Ramirez, 20, fled from police in a black Chevrolet Corvette, deactivating his lights to evade them. Officers used spike strips to end the pursuit and discovered the vehicle was equipped with an illegal license plate-flipping device. On Saturday, July 12, around 9:45 P.M., DeSoto Police received a notification from the Flock Camera System about a black Chevrolet Corvette in the area. What we know The black Chevrolet Corvette was associated with a registered owner, 20-year-old Dario Franco Ramirez, a resident of Cedar Hill. The vehicle's owner had an active warrant out of Grand Prairie for evading while in a vehicle. A third-degree felony. Officers located the Corvette at a bowling alley in the 100 block of Northgate Drive. When attempts were made to contact the driver, Ramirez sped away, initiating a high-speed pursuit through the city. During the chase, Ramirez attempted to evade detection by deactivating the vehicle's headlamps and tail lamps, but officers coordinated efforts and successfully deployed spike strips on N. Hampton Road near the Pleasant Run Road intersection, puncturing the Corvette's tires. Following the spike strip deployment, Ramirez drove into a residential neighborhood in the 700 block of Hilltop Circle and attempted to park on a resident's property. The resident called the police, which led to Ramirez's arrest and the impoundment of the vehicle. During the investigation, officers discovered that the Corvette was equipped with a device that unlawfully flipped the license plates. This offense is classified as a Class B Misdemeanor. The Source Information in this article was provided by the DeSoto Police Department.

Biden defends controversial autopen use for mass clemency decisions in NYT interview: 'A whole lot of people'

Former President Joe Biden defended his use of an autopen during a recent interview, shedding light on his administration's rationale for the controversial use of the technology. The interview with the New York Times was centered around his use of an autopen during the last pardons that he made during the end of his administration. In his final weeks in office, Biden granted clemency and pardoned more than 1,500 individuals, in what the White House described at the time as the largest single-day act of clemency by a U.S. president. Speaking to the Times on Thursday, Biden said that he "made every decision" on his own. Here Are Biden's Most Controversial Pardons, With Most Signed Using Autopen "We're talking about [granting clemency to] a whole lot of people," the Democrat said. Read On The Fox News App However, the Times reported that Biden "did not individually approve each name for the categorical pardons that applied to large numbers of people," according to the former president and his aides. "Rather, after extensive discussion of different possible criteria, [Biden] signed off on the standards he wanted to be used to determine which convicts would qualify for a reduction in sentence," the Times's report read. Instead of repeatedly asking the president to resign updated versions of official documents, his staff used an autopen to put Biden's signature on the final version. Biden's comments came as Republicans attacked him for his autopen use on a massive number of official documents. In June, President Donald Trump sent a memo to the Department of Justice directing Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate the autopen use, and to determine whether it was related to a decline in Biden's mental state. Biden Only Hand-signed One Pardon During Final Spree, And It Was His Most Controversial One "In recent months, it has become increasingly apparent that former President Biden's aides abused the power of Presidential signatures through the use of an autopen to conceal Biden's cognitive decline and assert Article II authority," Trump wrote. "This conspiracy marks one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history. The American public was purposefully shielded from discovering who wielded the executive power, all while Biden's signature was deployed across thousands of documents to effect radical policy shifts." Also in June, Trump told reporters that he thought it was "inappropriate" to use an autopen at all, though past presidents have used them. "Usually, when they put documents in front of you, they're important," Trump said. "Even if you're signing ambassadorships or – and I consider that important, I think it's inappropriate." "You have somebody that's devoting four years of their life or more to being an ambassador. I think you really deserve that person deserves to get a real signature… not an autopen signature."
