Chick Chandler and Shirley Grey
Welcome! The lobby of the Deranged L.A. Crimes theater is open! Grab a bucket of popcorn, some Milk Duds and a Coke and find a seat. Tonight’s feature is CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE starring Chick Chandler and Shirley Grey.
In California circumstantial evidence is often used to arrive at a guilty verdict. Here is a definition:
“Circumstantial evidence . . . which is defined as evidence that only indirectly proves that a certain fact is true . . . is a legitimate form of evidence in California criminal courts. Many guilty verdicts are based on circumstantial evidence.”
TCM’s synopsis of Circumstantial Evidence:
“After attending the murder trial of a man who is sentenced to death on evidence that is purely circumstantial, newspaper reporter Jim Baldwin decides to write an exposé hoping to put an end to capital punishment based solely on circumstantial evidence. With his fiancée, Adrienne Grey, a court artist, Jim pays a visit to the paper’s wealthy and eccentric gossip columnist, Fred Stevens, and the two men concoct a plan that will forcefully demonstrate how misleading circumstantial evidence can be.”
ENJOY THE FILM!

i’ll confess to never having seen or heard of this film,but from the description i’ll take a guess it’s more a social drama than crime film,so ,to put it succinctly,in my view capital punishment should be applied sparingly,not broadly,but the pendulum seems to be swinging towards abolition,so be it…but i’ve never viewed it as a deterrent,but a punishment for a life spent in the pursuit of self satisfaction at the detriment of the innocent…my two cents 😉
Devlin, your two cents are always worth so much more…
