Movie Review: Innocent Victims
ABC; Sun., Jan. 21, 9 p.m. ET
When a military wife and her two little girls are murdered in their home
near Fort Bragg in North Carolina in 1985, cops arrest Army man Tim
Hennis (Northern Exposure's John Corbett, unrecognizable in blond hair
and mustache). But his parents (Hal Holbrook and Rue McClanahan) believe
their son is innocent and hire two young attorneys (Rick Schroder and
Tom Irwin) to defend him. Engrossing but overlong, this true-life
courtroom drama, concluding the following night, goes for the fine
points of evidence and wastes worthy actors on one-dimensional
characters. They deserve a retrial.
