Murder on a Sunday morning

This film presents a compelling account of a reopened murder case, featuring a potentially innocent suspect and shocking tales of police corruption. Brenton Butler is the suspect, a 15 year old African-American accused of murdering Mary Ann Stephens in Jacksonville, Florida. Condemned by everyone involved with the case, his only lifeline is his lawyer, Patrick McGuinness, who reopens the case and uncovers some shocking revelations, not to mention a clear lack of concrete evidence against Butler. Takes a candid look at the U.S. justice system at work and exposes the racial bias and abuse of power which resulted in Brenton's arrest. Features exclusive courtroom footage, as well as interviews with the youth's public defenders, including attorney Patrick McGuinness, who uncovered startling evidence that raised serious doubts about the police investigation and subsequent interrogation tactics.
