Everyone seems to have an opinion on the new Netflix doco 'Should I Marry A Murderer?', including us, because we talked about it for so long in this week's bonus Breakin' Nooz episode that we decided it needed to be its own MINI ep.

Just the gist: Dr Caroline Muirhead, a Glasgow forensic pathologist, met Sandy McKellar on Tinder, got engaged within weeks, then found out her new dream man had killed someone... and she didn't leave him. Two years earlier, Sandy and his twin brother Robert McKellar had killed Tony Parsons - a cancer survivor doing a charity bicycle ride. Sandy and Robert told Caroline it was a drunken hit and run and they panicked and hid the body. Caroline says she stayed with Sandy to try and collect information, because the police weren't helping her and she was terrified. But since the release of 'Should I Marry A Murderer?', opinion has been sharply divided on Caroline's actions, with people either calling her a hero trauma survivor or a selfish drug addict. But in a world where we expect perfect victims, is it even possible for the public to accept multiple things can be true at once?
