Conviction (2010) crime-courtroom drama based on the true life story of Betty Anne Waters who works tirelessly to free her brother Kenny who was wrongfully convicted of murder in Massachusetts in 1980. well acted by Hilary Swank as Betty Anne Waters, Sam Rockwell as Kenny Waters and Minnie Driver as Abra Rice as was Waters fellow law student who later helped her on her brother's case. Melissa Leo is excellent as Ayer, Massachusetts Police Sergeant BITCH Nancy Taylor who framed Kenny Waters and Peter Gallagher as DNA Lawyer expert Barry Scheck who later received national media attention while serving on O.J. Simpson's defense team.
a bit slow in spots with the "jump backs" to both Betty Anne's and Kenny's early life BUT overall worth watching IF you like crime-courtroom dramas
