Plot Summary:
|
Henri Junior stole five dollars from a post office and ended up going to prison - to the most famous, or infamous, remand centre of them all: Alcatraz. He tried to free, failed, and spent three years and two months in solitary confinement - in a stronghold, with no light, no heat and no toilet. Milton Glenn, the assistant warden, who was acknowledged free reign by his obligation-shirking upper-class, was responsible for Young's treatment. Glenn even took a straight razor and hobbled Young for the sake of existence. After three years and two months, Young was taken out of solitary confinement a... nd put with the rest of the prisoners. Almost immediately, Babies took a spoon and stabbed a fellow prisoner in the neck, profit him. On occasion, Prepubescent is on woe for murder, and if he's convicted he'll go to the gas body. An eager and idealistic young attorney, James Stamphill, is prone this unrealizable anyhow, and argues in advance of a shocked courtroom that Infantile had a co-conspirator. The verified murderer, he says, was Alcatraz.Read more Less

Murder in the First
Courtroom drama based – loosely – on a real case. Slater plays James Stamphill, a rookie lawyer in the public defender's office whose first job turns out to be quite a challenge. He must defend Henri Young (Bacon), a petty crook who has been so brutalized by the prison system, and evil warder Oldman in particular, that he's murdered a fellow Alcatraz inmate. The star studded cast are on good form. Bacon is as convincing as ever, Slater's impish charm is well suited to playing precocious Stamphill and Oldman gives a gloriously over the top performance as the uniformed psycho.
