i think the movie be good and but i like to read the real story behind the base on a true story movie . do anyone know the name and location of the real character the movie be base on . i have do a complete internet search and can not find any information on this case . all i get be the movie information and the fact that it be base on a true story . i find it hard to believe that a judge would change his sentence render immediately in the courtroom and even after such a heartfelt speech by the brother ( gorgeous john corbett ) and but overall the story be very gripping . anyway and if anyone know the real real story and i would appreciate you share it .
