In this movie, Michael Douglas is a judge.
On trial are 2 suspects accused of murdering a young boy. Later in the corridor the boy's father approaches the judge and asks him to look at his son's picture. He mentions he's only 10.
later when the father is arrested for trying to shoot the suspects, he commits suicide in jail.
When the judge is watching the news, about the suicide of this man, the reporter said he was the father of the 7 yr. old who was murdered. I think there is another scene where he's 8.
