also, the lady in the oppenheim callout video uses deliberately misleading language when she says one of her clients has been executed since the doc went up originally. she doesn’t give a specific case or say exactly how a ten minute short film caused a client on death row to be executed.

I actually think his documentary on it is pretty shitty in the luridness which it portrays people doing mitigation work, but the claim this person is making that these sentencing mitigation videos are private is flat out untrue

Show Post

The reason this person is making the claim on social media and not a law office is because the videos her firm produces are part of public court records Oppenheim may have downloaded them rather than getting them from the court which is unethical. But the idea that they were ever private is false

so you’re telling me he’s a documentarian. got it

Show Post

so i’m left with: Lance Oppenheim took footage without explicit permission and then used it to make a sympathetic documentary that he (likely) paid to produce and made (likely) little money on. one of the people featured has since died. the organization the doc is about got mad and fired someone.
