Die Zerreissprobe

Boy how I wish they would show this movie again. I only got to see this movie once and that was a very long time

ago. I love how beautiful Charolette Ross was. People will do anything to help protect their children. To bad it's not good when the kid's parent's who actually did the crime tries to blame it on the innocent. I would love to see this movie again. Maybe someday I will get lucky. 10.

I finally had the time to watch this and it was a great movie! I only know the movie because my grandmother was the female paramedic with the curly hair. I wish she was given credit under the cast. She was a paramedic in real life which is how she landed the part and she has saved many lives. She deserves to be mentioned!

It's been almost 9 years since this movie was on NBC, but it was a memorable one. Charlotte Ross (ex-Eve, Days of Our Lives), Katey Sagal (Peg, Married With Children), and David Lascher (Ted, Hey Dude) were a great combination of talent that really brought this movie together. I have requested that NBC re-release this movie and/or sell rights to Lifetime - I would love to see it again!

The main girl in this could not be more unlikable. She was written to be so awful! Sagal's character was also frustrating, making so many poor decisions, it was hard to watch.

I didn't pay complete attention to this movie, so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it seeming to turn in another direction. However, the direction it leaned into quickly became very predictable.

Not worth watching.

A fairly decent script with a suspenseful, surprise ending is spoiled by weak acting from a cast pruned from TVLand, directed by a TV alumnus, Charles Correll, son of legendary Charles J. Correll, aka Andy Brown (of radio's "Amos and Andy"). The producer also had problems finding a suitable title. The one now used, "Violation of Trust," while still weak, is much better than the original moniker of "She Says She's Innocent." Talk about nondescript!

The plot centers on a divorced, pregnant mother, Susan Essex (Katey Sagal), who trusts her daughter, Justine (Charlotte Ross), explicitly when she swears she knows nothing about the murder of her new friend, Vicky Gilmore (Kimberly Hooper), amid accusations that Vicky and Justine had a violent confrontation at Justine's house the night of the homicide. Deeply involved also is one of Justine's old buds, Ashley (Amy Moore Davis), a straight-A student whom Justine's mom thinks is a positive influence on her daughter but who in reality hated Vicky and attempted to stir up trouble between Justine and Vicky over a common thread boyfriend, Ryan (David Lascher). To complicate the issue, Vicky was two-months pregnant when killed. Was it Ryan's baby?

To prove her daughter's innocence, Susan conducts her own investigation but muddies the waters when she begins dating the law officer in charge of the case. Slowly the evidence uncovered begins to make sense when suddenly Vicky finds herself in a deadly encounter with the killer.

If the viewer can ignore the amateurish acting, the pedestrian direction, and the intrusive subplot concerning Susan and her ex-husband, then he/she should enjoy the above-average script and story.
