GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT

Based on a true story. Nurse Lucia de B. has been present at one inexplicable death too many, and the hospital alerts the police. A young woman attorney driven by ambition and genuine outrage, gets involved and Lucia is sentenced to life in prison. But something keeps troubling her, and she soon discovers inconsistencies in the witness statements, and suppression of lab evidence that was ignored by her superiors.
