A very corny movie. The alleged murder weapon was obtained without a warrant and would seem to be inadmissible. The DA is quick to take up with a girlfriend when his wife left without taking the children and supposedly only for a short time. Factual, who knows.
The DA, DeLaughter, was later convicted on bribery charges in connection with another case and served time in Federal prison. This casts a shadow on the validity of the Evers trial.
