Contents/Summary
- Summary
- Six years ago, Eunice Baker, a borderline retarded woman, was left babysitting a three year old girl. A wire in the house short-circuited leading to the temperature in the child’s room soaring. The girl died of heat exhaustion. But despite clear evidence the death was accidental, Eunice was arrested for pre-mediated murder. This personal and compelling film follows her trial. It’s a case that raises fundamental questions about the treatment of mentally handicapped people in the US legal system.
