I think all the roles Kellie martin Has played have been brilliant and this is no exception .This is probably the best show or movie she has ever played in along with ER. A cool tv Movie.Worth Seeing A+++++
Although our 'justice system' is the best in the world sometimes things just go wrong. This story (based on true events) deals with spousal abuse in years past.
Since "OJ" & that trial, this is much less likely to happen again.
I especially liked the courtroom scenes and the way the camera(s) were used to show it all.
The writers did a 'super' job too.
A great surprise twist as well.

This is one of Kellie Martin's best acting roles. As a young wife and mother who is at the mercy of her abusive husband, Ms. Martin takes a complex role and does an incredible job with it. The actors who play her parents are especially exceptional, and the scene where Ms. Martin tells off her father is a very powerful scene. Definitely an above average TV movie. Great job all around.
I have to say that the scene in which Sharon (Kristin Dattilo) finds out about Katie's (Kellie Martin) problem is the best scene in the whole movie. When she flat-out asks her if Jimmy is how she got the black eye, and she races into the other room, I find that to be very real. Bravo to the director. I personally think that Kristin should have gotten a bigger part in the film.
