Original Airdate 11-26-00
Though he claims he's guilty, accused serial killer William
Hinks' psychologist, Jeannie Reynolds -- a friend of Lindsay's
-- believes that her patient is delusional and only confessed to
the murders for the attention. Reynolds begs Lindsay to take
Hinks' case, which she does, but the question remains whether he
is a sick man guilty only of soliciting attention, or an
ingenious killer responsible for the gruesome murders of nine
innocent women.
From TV
Guide
A suspected serial killer stands trial in a courtroom battle
that's a doozy of a puzzler. The accused is William Hinks
(Michael Emerson), an intelligent yet anomalous figure who has
confessed to the brutal slayings of nine women and convinced
authorities of his guilt. Now, he wants to plead insanity and
pay for his crimes. But Lindsay (Kelli Williams) has doubts:
Hinks may be schizophrenic and delusional. To clear him, she
adopts a risky strategy, starting with a change of plea to not
guilty. And when Hinks insists on taking the stand, she sets out
to discredit her own client about his recollections of the
killings. Hill: Denis Arndt.
