- Quotes
Judge Julius Sullivan: [in his chambers, with Jodi's dad and Rene's mom] We're in a sad era, where parents have lost control of their children and don't know how to get it back. Well, I'm here to help you bring discipline back to your families... Without the fear of punishment, small breaches of the law become large ones. So I'll inject a little fear into your girls, like a physician administering a shot; think of it as a vaccine to cure bad behavior.
The true villain in the story was the jailer, someone who was a childhood friend of mine, and who tried to take revenge on me because of how determined my father was to get him for raping that girl. The parents should have sued the sheriff in my opinion, since he was the one who hired the jailer and didn't protect her.
I never found out for sure, but Andy Griffith must have met my father before doing this movie, because he reminded me of him in many ways.
