Today’s movie is a courtroom drama with a scene on March 6. I hope you will enjoy this film and watch it tonight. THE ACCUSED On March 6, 1983 Sarah Tobias is gang-raped in a bar, while drunken patrons cheer the rapists on. [00:28 to 15:32 and 1:20:00 to 1:33:54] The prosecutor assigned to the case is persuaded to let them plead guilty to a lesser charge that could get them out of jail in a year. The victim becomes enraged about this. When the victim is hospitalized after ramming the truck of one of the witnesses, who had propositioned her, the prosecutor decides to charge those who cheered on the rapists with criminal solicitation. At trial they are convicted. A brutally honest film. Almost painful in its portrayal of events. One of those films you really don’t want to see, but should.
