This dramatization in part, is based on a real event. To learn more about the plight of a man accused of raping a child and is facing the death penalty, just google news (or use your favorite search engine) Kennedy v. Louisiana and it will bring up the many links regarding this case.
(A thinkingblue personal opinion) When Gore lost the ability to have a recount in 2000 and the Supreme Court awarded the presidency to George W Bush, I knew exactly what was going to happen within this holiest of Courts. I knew, the great headway that was made to lessen human suffering would probably be overturned and that future supreme decisions would be handled by the judges, W. Bush would get to nominate to give the conservative ideology a court majority. It seems this de ja vu I felt was right on target. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out! The republican party has for 50 years had this as their goal. But I wished the hell I knew why? thinkingblue
