Morgen in Alabama

Man Under Suspicion

At an election meeting, shots are fired. A young man in the middle of the crowd is arrested. The only reason he gives for the shooting is that he wanted to make a mark. A lawyer, who is currently in the news as the defense counsel of a child murderer, is appointed to take on the young man’s case.

But at first he does not get anywhere with his client. It is only when the young man’s sister arrives on the scene that he begins to take a serious interest in the case. A press photographer and a TV journalist draw his attention to a strange phenomenon. His client maintains he is the only person involved in the shooting, whereas in fact he is not. All the signs seem to indicate that he is a member of a neo-Nazi group who incited him to commit the crime.
