In the DVD Commentary, the filmmakers say Nick Rice is interested in Justice as a concept - but they've got it wrong. He's interested in The Law as a Job. Clyde laments he is a law abiding citizen, thus the law should deliver him justice. So we take it for granted the title pertains to him.

The grizzly murder of three adolescent boys caught the attention of documentarians Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky in 1996, especially after the dubious arrest of three “goth” teenage boys—Damian Echols, Jessie Misskelley, and Jason Baldwin —for committing the crime. The documentary uncovers a wealth of shoddy evidence, police incompetence and lawyer misconduct during the trial, even after the boys receive the death penalty for the crime. Berlinger and Sinofsky imply that the reason for the boys arrest had less to do with any evidence against them, but more a community’s discomfort with their fashion sense and musical taste. The directors continue to follow the case as the boys seek a new trial, and as prison forever shapes their lives.
