Quotes
Dusty: So, are you satisfied, Mother Brown?
Mary Brown: Not yet!
Dusty: Why not? You've already destroyed my life taking my daughter away and turning all of my friends against me. You've done everything you can to punish me for something I didn't even do. What more could you possibly want?
Mary Brown: You took my son's future. I want yours. If I can't have your life, I can take away your freedom to live it.
Dusty: Innocent until proven guilty and you're a long way from proving me guilty. I am gonna walk out of here and I am gonna wave goodbye as I do.

... I just perused these comments for the first time ... to ALL of you who doubted the validity of these characters and events-portrayed ; you could NOT be more wrong ... this movie is dead-nuts ACCURATE ... one possible stray-from-truth : a slight negative pallor was assigned upon Ada,OK ... the town itself was neither mean-hearted nor an obstacle to justice ... just a small group of residents (mostly her family and misguided friends) ... other than that, this movie is ALL TRUTH and ACCURACY throughout ... right down to that dishwater-haired older sister of hers ... the actress looked exactly like that sister ... you only got a "glimpse" of her mean-spirited angst ... but , trust me ... every fact in this movie is just that: FACT ... how do I know ? ... my name was mentioned in a courtroom scene mid-movie ... they had caught her in lies about her past ... an attorney questioned her about "forest" ... "dusty" was my ex-wife ... I was fortunate enough to win custody of our daughter when she was six-months old ... "dusty" then decided to join the Marines and move to Carolina ... the rest is history ... 'nuff said ,,, "forest"
