Alain E @AlainE 6 days ago This may be the best TV movie I have ever seen. Very good script and quick editing. Free of unnecessary sentimentalities. It illustrates how officers of the legal system are willing to sacrifice an innocent man, even an officer of the US Army, in their effort to convict someone for a horrible crime. Tim Hennis was imprisoned for almost 4 years, a significant stretch on death row, before he was finally acquitted. He then resumed his military career including participation in wars. The movie is the rare occasion where unearthing an obscure TV movie is absolutely worth it. There is some confusion about the length of the movie: 2 hours as shown on Prime, but here mentioned as 3:12.

Jon Corbet is great I love its a true story about wrongly convicted. See more Jul 7, 2009 John Corbett does a great job in this movie...I can't really say the same for the rest of the actors. Most just came off as low-budget acting. Interesting story though, very sad what Corbett's character has to go through before the truth is known that he is innocent.
