Outrage!

1986 · 120 min

A sober, talky courtroom drama that turns grief into a moral argument, gripping you with outrage rather than action.

Directed by
Walter Grauman
Genres
Tv movie, Crime, Drama
Overview
After a technicality results in the release of a man being tried for the rape and murder of a young woman, her father murders the man. Admitting his guilt and refusing to use temporary insanity, the father places his attorney in a virtual no-win situation. In an extreme effort, the attorney decides to call the judge who released the murderer originally and to challenge the entire legal system that would permit such a travesty.
