    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Jodie Foster landed the role of Libby after Meg Ryan and Brooke Shields both declined, but was replaced by Ashley Judd when Foster became pregnant.
    • Goofs
      Double jeopardy only applies to crimes tried by the same state or the federal government. If a murder occurred in a different state, it is tried independently of what may have occurred in another state. In practice, if it is discovered that the crime for which a person was convicted did not occur, the conviction would be vacated.
    • Quotes
      • [Nick threatens Libby as Libby threatens him with the law of double jeopardy]
      • Nick Parsons: They're tough in Louisiana, Libby. You shoot me, they'll give you the gas chamber.
      • Libby Parsons: No they won't. It's called double jeopardy. I learned a few things in prison, Nick. I could shoot you in the middle of Mardi Gras and they can't touch me.
      • Travis Lehman: As an ex-law professor, I can assure you she is right.
