Indictment: The McMartin Trial

The longest and most expensive trial in American history ended without a single conviction! The state of California spent seven years and 15 million dollars to prosecute the McMartin child-abuse case--a case that ended in deadlocked juries, a mistrial and outright acquittals. What's wrong with a criminal justice system that lets that happen? James Woods plays the defense attorney in this fact-based drama that tells the McMartin story from the initial allegations and parental hysteria through the trial by media and the endless courtroom maneuverings. Mercedes Ruehl co-stars as the prosecutor.
