A really well done crime drama, 7 April 2004
10/10
Author: videojohn (videojohn@hughes.net) from Apple Valley, Ca.

Although our 'justice system' is the best in the world sometimes things just go wrong. This story (based on true events) deals with spousal abuse in years past.

Since "OJ" & that trial, this is much less likely to happen again.

I especially liked the courtroom scenes and the way the camera(s) were used to show it all.

The writers did a 'super' job too.

A great surprise twist as well.
