Corrected entry: Sandra Bullock first arrives in the film by driving into town prior to the trial of two rapists. After her arrival, the victim's father Samuel L Jackson (Carl Lee) kills the rapists in open court. When Matthew McConnaughey later asks Bullock why she's in town, she says "Carl Lee", yet at the time of her arrival she can't have known who Carl Lee was as he hadn't committed any crime.
A Time to Kill (1996)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Joel Schumacher
Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Donald Sutherland, Kevin Spacey, Kiefer Sutherland, Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock
Audio problem: When "Mickey Mouse" rescues Roark, he says something like "It's gonna be all right," yet his mouth is closed and not moving at all.
Lucien Wilbanks: If you win this case, justice will prevail, and if you lose, justice will also prevail. Now that is a strange case.
Trivia: In one of the courtroom scenes, the judge refers to Sandra Bullock as "Lois Lane." Around the same time this film was being made, Bullock was heavily considered to play the role of Lois Lane in Tim Burton's Superman Lives, but the movie was canceled just weeks before shooting.
Question: Why does it matter if the psychiatrist was convicted of statutory rape? How does it affect his ability to determine Carl Lee's sanity?
Answer: The conviction, and his subsequent lying about it, bring his credibility seriously in doubt.

Correction: She's referring to why she's staying in town, not why she came into town in the first place.
