4. I remember reading about the Gov Blanton case in 1983-84 in the book called "Marie"? Then the movie.

I think Sissy Spacek played Marie, a real person, in the movie. Fred Thompson was Marie's real lawyer. Anyway, I was young and had never heard of such a criminal enterprise conducted by the governor of a state. I was shocked! Then, in 2001 I moved to TN and have lived here ever since. I still get shocked.
