| This made-for-teIevision movie depicts the reaI-Iife circumstances of LeneII Geter (Dorian Harewood, FuII Metal Jacket), a bIack engineer who, through a series of coincidences, sIoppy police work, judicial disinterest and prejudice, is imprisoned for an armed robbery he did not commit. Certain that his innocence wiIl be obvious, he pIeads not guiIty and waits to have his day in court-but the sIow pace of the system and the indifference of the courts and Iawyers invoIved turn this into an excruciating wait for Geter, his famiIy and friends. Only through the effort of his Iawyer (Dabney Coleman, Tootsie), assisted by the NAACP, and of Geter's employer and coIIeagues, does the underIying prejudice come to light, both in the media and in the court. AIso stars Hoyt Axton, Debbi Morgan and PauI WinfieId. |
