THE UNSOLVED MURDER OF BEVERLY LYNN SMITH is a Canadian true crime documentary series; in this episode, the police tactics used to gain a confession are called into question.
language
There is frequent use of strong language (‘f**k’, ‘motherf**ker’). Milder terms include ‘prick’, ‘shit’, ‘bullshit’, ‘son of a bitch’, ‘bastard’ and ‘pissed’.
injury detail
As it is explained that a undercover cop was covered in sheep’s blood to mock up the aftermath of a murder, reenactments show a bucketful of blood being spilt over the floor.
additional issues
We hear recorded audio footage of police making callous jokes about whether a suspect who has previously attempted suicide will try to take his own life again; this behaviour is clearly criticised. There are infrequent verbal references to a woman having been fatally shot in the back of the head. There are also moderate references to drug dealing. Other issues include scenes of emotional upset.
