| Summary |
"About a lawyer in Baltimore whose client winds up getting five years in prison after being falsely arrested as someone else who has the same name, after being stopped for having a burned out taillight. While awaiting trial in jail - a knife used to stab a guard is planted in his cell, so he winds up pleading guilty to avoid a trial and the possibility of a longer sentence. The Forsyt character is an arrogant judge who thinks he can do anything with impunity and without outside accountability - including raping a woman. Al Pacino’s opening statement in defending a judge accused of raping and beating a woman (and who actually did so): “The prosecutor so desperately wants to win that he did something strange, he filed charges without remembering to have a case to back it up."" |
