I watched "A time to kill" the other night. I cover court for work quite often. I can only assume US court is similar to Canadian court. By that I mean cross-examination does not consist of one question asked by a yelling screaming prosecutor to the accused. Or five minute summations.
It drives me nuts cause I can't watch such movies without seeing a million holes in the proceedings or thinking, "bullshit," every two minutes.
What drove me nuts in "A time to kill" was the way the "judge" allowed the focus of the prosecution to stray so of course it almost ended up hitting an iceberg.
Oye.
