I did a podcast with Dr. Kevin Barrett recently about my upcoming film DOVEY'S PROMISE. It is a courtroom drama about the Towpath Murder Trial of 1965, in which the victim was Mary Pinchot Meyer, who was the last mistress of JFK. The defendant was a poor, hapless black man, Raymond Crump, and famed Civil Rights attorney Dovey Roundtree was so convinced of his innocence that she offered to defend him for one dollar.
Of course, we talked about the film, but I'd say we talked more about the history, including the relationship between JFK and Mary, and why there was really nothing plausible about the case against Crump, that you really can't conjure up a motive for Crump. Neither robbery nor rape make sense in the context of what happened, and I get into it in the podcast.
So, here is the link, and I'm sure you'll find it interesting.
