Indictment : The McMartin Trial (1995)
Made for HBO , airing May 20th in the US.
Filmed entirely in California.
Based on truths.
The story : In 1983 , a mother of a small child went to the police station to report that her young son had been molested at his preschool.
Immediately an arrest was made of Raymond Buckley , the grandson of respected preschool owner/teacher Virginia McMartin.
Shortly after Raymonds arrest , which he was charged with over 60 counts of molestation - his mother and aunt , along with 6 more woman who all worked at the preschool were indicted and then also arrested.
Raymond's lawyer , who didn't know the family , did his best at freeing his clients and doing everything in his power to fight the good fight for them.
Not until 1986 did the truth actually come out into the open.
