I loved this movie I thought it was great. I think Ally Sheedy was mildly convincing as the mother, but I would have preferred to see someone with more talent such as Michelle Pfeiffer play her. But overall the acting, costumes, script, production, directing, and photography were wonderful.
After an intruder named Richard Truits breaks into the Crowe's home and kills Stephanie the oldest daughter the police immediately jump to the conclusion that Micheal is guilty and shame him into a confession. He is later arrested and taken into custody for it. Later however, he gets a really good public defender who gets him and his accused friends acquitted of the crime.
Although, at first they did not know he was the killer, I'm surprised that they did not question the guy since he was found in their neighborhood that morning.
