In spite of its low ratings, I thought this was an excellent film. John Corbett made the movie good and his sweet partner helped a great deal. Definitely check this one out .

Plot summary
After Judge Laird acquits Savitch by calling a mistrial due to a Juror mistake, Detective Hatcher grows angry. A few weeks after the acquittal, Elise Laird, the judge's wife, encounters a burglar and kills him in their home. The circumstances become increasingly questionable as new facts unfold making both the judge and Elise seem more and more suspicious, connecting both of them to Savitch in different ways. Elise claims that her husband is trying to kill her due to her connection to Savitch, and the judge claims he knows nothing. After Elise is kidnapped by a strange man, she disappears and it looks as though she has been thrown into the river, but she mysteriously shows up at Hatcher's home after the judge identifies a dead body as hers. Hatcher hides her in his grandmother's home and keeps up the guise that she is dead. More and more facts come to light, making the truth even more difficult to uncover.

WHAT!!?
First rule of crime movies, keep it REALISTIC! When the judge let a potential MURDERER just go free because of a mistrial, I knew this was going to be hard to watch! Even Forrest Gump KNOWS that does NOT happen! They try them again!!
When B actors play A actors
Julie Benz is always eye candy...loved her in Dexter and she worked there. This is a made for TV movie from start to finish but cannot even compete with network TV, so TNT or Hallmark or... The lead actor is horrible. All these actors are familiar faces as supporting cast. This movie lets us all know how good leads actors are and why they get paid the big bucks. You get a star actor and run with that person as far as you can because there are not many of them around!
This is just bad...plays like an early 2000s drama before they perfected TV. Skip it unless Julie Benz is worth your time for a pretty face...
