No one but the jury, the judge and the prosecutors believed that Lenell Geter could commit armed robbery, but they were enough to send him to a Texas prison for LIFE! Callous district attorneys and "eyewitnesses" convince the all-white jury that Geter a quiet, hardworking engineer is guilty of armed robbery. A judge slams him with a life sentence. Only after "60 Minutes" exposes the slipshod prosecution do the wheels of justice finally turn.
"Callous district attorneys and eyewitnesses convince the all-white jury that Lenell Geter (Harewood), a quiet, hardworking engineer is guilty of armed robbery. A judge slams him with a life sentence. Only the heroic efforts of his public defender (Coleman), his boss (Axton), and an attorney (Winfield) from the NAACP keep the case alive. His lawyer must overcome Geter's race-based distrust of him in order to prove his innocence."
