'We’re a grieving family. Why do they want to exploit us?' The sister of murder victim Brooke Preson, who was murder by her roommate in 2017, has taken to TikTok to criticize a new doc coming out about the crime, which largely focuses on the killer
is largely centered around police and trial footage, reenactments, and interviews with Herman, the man who was convicted in May 2019 of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. At trial, Herman put forth a sleepwalking defense, based on what his family reported to be his history of sleepwalking. For what it’s worth, Jordan, who also lived with Brooke and Herman for six months, says she has no memory of Herman sleepwalking while they lived together.
They said it was something like, they were gonna be digging into the sleepwalking defense. They pretty much made it clear it was gonna be about him and not her,” she says. “Why would we want to support anything about him? He took her from us. Why does he get to speak to the world and she doesn’t?” Jordan says the family not only refused to participate, they also requested that the production team refrain from making the film. “If it wasn’t about him, we probably would have gotten involved. We’d love to share her story and how amazing she was,” she says. “But you could just tell that wasn’t what this was.
“Nobody deserves to feel like this,” she says. “Even that little piece I saw — it’s tearing me apart.” . “You think you can hurt me? Hulu just released a documentary on how my little sister was brutally murdered without our families’ consent so now we get to relive the worst day of our lives,” the caption of the video, which has 15 million views, read. She also posted a Change.org petition attempting to stop the release of the film, which has more than 11,000 signatures.
