SYNOPSIS: This made-for-TV movie chronicles the famous 1931 trial of nine young black boys who were accused of gang-raping two white women in Scottsboro, Ala. An all-white jury finds eight of the nine boys guilty and sentence them to death. But when the Supreme Court rejects the decision, the case is sent back to Alabama where it is retried under Judge Horton (Arthur Hill). Despite the details exonerating the boys, neither the community nor the jury is willing to find the boys innocent, obliging Horton to insist upon additional trials at the expense of his reputation.
