NOTES |
Donohoe
plays a lawyer doing a pro bono defence of a man |
|
on death row
for rape and murder who has learning |
|
She tries to
have a re-trial on grounds of his mental |
|
retardation.
He has an I.Q. of 58, dyslexia and an inability to |
|
distinguish
background noise and speech. |
|
This slow
and tedious film is hardly a good example for |
|
opening up
the debate about this subject |
|
There is no
reprieve but the lawyer nearly drowns in her own |
|
tears. For
which there are no excuses since Amanda |
|
Donohoe was
the executive producer. |
