Prisoner to Yuma

Hollister tells Renee Carter that the judge is going to review her case then adds, "you help the law, the law helps you." However, she did not help the law. In fact, she refused to testify against Fallon even after Hollister proved he tried to kill her. She finally threatened Fallon after she heard him say that he had not filed an appeal in her case and had no intention of helping her. Even then, she didn't really help because Fallon was shot dead by Hollister when he tried to shoot Renee in the saloon. So, she actually did nothing that would warrant any leniency. In fact, under modern law, she is as guilty of murder as the person who did it since she set up the whole robbery.
