I was made to watch the this movie in my business law class and write a assignment about it. Not a lawyer, but regular business minor.

Such a good movie!❤
This movie is why I added Bruce Greenwood to my list of "Actors I Hate for One Role They Played" (along with Kiefer Sutherland and Benedict Cumberbatch.)😅

i LOVE the Bruce Campbell in BURN NOTICE. OH AND "yuppie man" is BRENNAN ELLIOT, which I feel like I just commented about him for some reason here, noting how his first acting appearance was the guy wearing the bandana in Tom Chochrane's music video LIFE IS A HIGHWAY.

I was a kid at the time. I believed the plot hook, line, and sinker.

Double Jeopardy was so good at convincing us that this was accurate. I really believed she could get away with killing her husband the 2nd time. Didn’t find out this was completely false until I was an adult 😂

You're number one fact is why a certain Michael Douglas changed his name to Michael Keaton! Now, I've heard it was because he couldn't have the same name on his SAG card, but I've also heard it was so not to be confused with the other Michael Douglas.

The biggest plot hole in movie history. If you are convicted of a crime in one state, double jeopardy does not protect you from another state charging you. She would have been convicted of murder in La. again.
