Surprisingly coherent and well-paced TV movie about one of the most expensive and longest-running courtroom cases in the US history. Not a small feat to cram into 2 hours. The first time skip felt jarring due to this but once you realize this spans the length of nearly a decade, time skips become necessary. Very depressing to think this isn’t just a movie either but dramatized recount of actual history. Aggravating and appalling.

This is actually a very decent made for TV movie. Woods is classic snark and Thomas is solid as the baffled target of what ends up being a massive clusterfuck of a trial.
