Synopsis

Le 5 juin 1974 Christian Ranucci, vingt ans, est interpellé à son domicile. Officiellement pour un délit de fuite après un accrochage qui a eu lieu deux jours plus tôt. En fait, il est soupçonné d'avoir enlevé la petite Maria Dolores Rambla, huit ans, et de l'avoir sauvagement assassinée. Un geste atroce, qui scandalise la France entière. En garde à vue, le petit frère de la victime ne reconnaît pas Christian Ranucci. Pas plus qu'un couple témoin de l'accident. Après dix-huit heures d'interrogatoire, le jeune homme passe aux aveux, puis se rétracte et fait état des pressions que les enquêteurs lui ont fait subir. Il est vrai qu'il subsiste de nombreuses zones d'ombre. En outre, certains détails ne collent pas. Pourtant, seule la mère de l'accusé, Héloïse Mathon, croit en son innocence. Le procès s'ouvre dans un climat tendu, quelques semaines après un autre meurtre d'enfant. Face à une opinion déchaînée, Héloïse fait front. Elle décide de tenter tout ce qui est en son pouvoir pour sauver son fils, qui sera condamné à mort et guillotiné, le président de la République ayant refusé de le gracier.

A southern town is rocked by scandal when teenager Mary Clay is murdered on Confederate Memorial Day. A district attorney with political ambitions, Andrew Griffin, sees the crime as way to the Senate if he can find the right scapegoat to be tried for the crime. He seeks out Robert Hale, Mary's teacher at the business school where she was killed. Even though all evidence against Hale is circumstantial, Hale happens to be from New York (Leo Frank was a Southerner from Texas, but he was Jewish and had been raised in New York), and Griffin works with reporter William Brock to create a media frenzy of prejudice and hatred against the teacher. The issue moves from innocence or guilt to the continuing bigotry and suspicion between South and North, especially given the significance of the day of the murder.
