This is hilarious! If someone like him has to try to get all the attention on himself after being accused of such a terrible crime, then there is something wrong. It's sickening to hear about this guy over and over. He should be getting on with his life and not trying to gain sympathy. The guy was acquitted which doesn't mean he was found innocent.

The mob has risen to a frenzy after the death of one of thier own is in search of blood. What once was a posse looking for killers quickly tunrs into a lynch mob. A lot of ordinary people begin to do things they would not normally do under the security of the mob. Henry Fonda is the one person who opposes the mob. Anthony Quinn is one of the accused,a mexican, who life is in the hands of a lynch mob that shows stereotypical fears of him. "12 Angry Men" is a classic drama.A Powerful play adapted for the screen. You never see the trial or the accused, only 12 men confined to a small jurors' deliberation room. It is all about the writing and the acting. Jack Klugman, Henry Fonda and the rest of the cast give remarkable performances. One more to consider for your list. "These Three" the story of three teachers at a private school that are accused of sexual mis-conduct. A much better movie than "Atonement". More thoughts on the subject

The Road to Perdition. The whole thing kicks off because the boy witnesses a mob member being executed after being wrongfully accused. The Hurricaine Denzel Washington's powerful performance has Rubin Carter, the prize figghter who spends 30 years in prison after being accused of murder. Heavens Falls Tim Hutton plays the lawyer who has to defend the Negroes in the Jim Crow south who are accused of the rape of a White woman. Three major omissions from your list.

All joking aside Paradise Lost 1 (I haven't seen 2) was very deep and hard hitting, but Shawshank still gets me emotionally every time more than Paradise Lost did the first time around. How about Mystic River on there too, not exactly about the wrongfully accused until the last 20 minutes but still potent and hard? Well maybe they just need Morgan Freeman and a rock hammer.

I wouldn't have even thought of The Warriors making the list. Good call. I would include a documentary called After Innocence on this list.

However I am going off of movies about wrongfully accused and how could anything outside of Paradise Lost be #1? The docs are about 3 guys who are in prison/death row for a crime they didnt commit and are still there! If you are going off of Cinematic Achievements then yes you are right.
