Did anyone in the UK (sorry to be parochial here) watch the film on channel 4 last night, called Cherry Falls? ???Set in Virginia it's about a killer who murders 4 teenagers from the local high school, children of prominent people from the town ie principle-head teacher, judge etc. 20 years previously, a girl whose car had broken down was raped by 4 young men, 1 of them albeit reluctantly if that's at all possible? 
Yep, you've guessed these guys went on to become the 'upstanding' citizens whose kids were murdered, except the sheriff's daughter who escaped. The killer was the result of the rape and had been abused all his life at the hands of his tormented mother.What struck me at the end was the sheriffs widow and daughter, when questioned by the FBI, lying their souls into hell to save face to maintain their so called respectable position in the community. And there are no innocent people on death row?
