While the trial points to her guilt, the documentary sheds uncertainty on the ruling by granting viewers access to Arias’ personal diaries, unseen police interviews and testimony and interviews with those closest to the case.

Ryan Bernard, owner of R. Bernard Funeral Services in Memphis, Tennessee, as he runs his business.
In 2017, Bernard started his business to offer “complete, yet affordable funeral packages to help his community deal with exponentially high funeral costs.”
R. Bernard Funeral Services went viral in 2017 for offering drive-thru viewing services for mourners to view bodies from their vehicles, an idea Bernard implemented in order to stand out from other funeral homes, as reported by Fortune.
“With family dramedy at the center, the family-owned and operated business provides their community top tier care, service, and comfort with a side of laughter in the toughest of times,” said Netflix in a statement.
