Absence of Malice

Absence of Malice

In America, can a man be guilty until proven innocent? Suppose you picked up this morning's newspaper and your life was a font page headline... and everything they said was accurate but not true. This is the dilemma that must be faced in this timely drama about the incredible power of the press.

Synopsis: Journalistic ethics are explored in this effective mystery/romance. A popular hit when it was released, this continues to satisfy genre fans with its critically acclaimed performances and strong character development.
