Suspect backdrop

Suspect 1987 Directed by Peter Yates

She's a lawyer who broke two laws of her profession... Never get involved with a juror and don't look for clues in dangerous places.

When a Supreme Court judge commits suicide and his secretary is found murdered, all fingers point to Carl Anderson, a homeless veteran who's deaf and mute. But when public defender Kathleen Riley is assigned to his case, she begins to believe that Anderson may actually be innocent. Juror Eddie Sanger, a Washington lobbyist, agrees, and together the pair begins their own investigation of events.
