Framing Device: The film starts and ends in 1990 with John watching news coverage of the verdict of the Yusef Hawkins murder case, causing him to reflect upon his own personal history of dealing with the injustices of the legal system and recall to the viewer the case of his nephew back in 1957.

Follow in My Footsteps: Charles Sr. wants his son to take the police entrance exam and become an officer just like him, feeling that his son will benefit from his trailblazing father's pedigree among the ranks.
