Rene wants to become a star, she puts her trust in this one man who makes her think that he will make her a star but he doesn't so she breaks down kills the guy, tricks her husband to take the blame for the murder but he then figures out that she and the guy that she murdered were having intercourse, so he confessed that she did it, and then she confessed and ended up in prison. In reality her husband and then her future ex-husband should have been charged with being an accomplice. In prison she sees Catherine who was committed of a double homicide and meets big mama who is a corrupt warden in that prison. A group of women in prison start gabbing about how the one they loved or cared about had it common except for one, she did not murder her lover but was still in imprisoned by mistake. Rene is being used by Richard in order for her to get out of prison but since Catharine told her that Richard is always on the spot light René tries to make the spot on her. The more fame the better, more money and better title for the lawyer and better for the victim/defendant. This new murder comes and manages to start stealing the entire spotlight until Rene reveals to the newspaper that she is pregnant. What happens in real life was shown in the movie, an innocent woman was executed. What lawyers might do at times in order to win, they might lead the client, meaning that they might help them out in the court by giving them hints on what to say so it would make them look good. During court hearings sometimes surprise witnesses do pop out and objects are used as evidence to help against or for the defendant, but if evidence is being used it has to be within a search warrant and cannot invade anyone's privacy. After the case whether they are guilty or not some murderers or non murderers can become addicted to the fame that came with the trial. There have been cases were people end up idolizing and at times committing the same crime that some famous murder or ex-convict just because they wanted the same attention, these people have issues when it comes to being social with the world around them, most of the time I believe that these behaviors are influenced by the real or imagined presence of other people, which of course leads to social psychology.People like Rene and Catherine's character need psychological treatment. I am pretty sure that if they were to go to one they would be diagnosed with some time of severe disorder, murdering and then lying and being obsessed with the fame is definitely an abnormal behavior.
