I've been to Jefferson City (none / 0) (#162)
by Jeralyn on Sun Apr 02, 2023 at 06:00:48 PM EST
Made a movie there for TNT in 2006 about Dale Helmig, a person believed to be wrongfully convicted. Turns out, he was and has since been released.

Over the years, questions about Helmig's guilt were raised in a documentary produced by the Illinois State University Innocence Project and a television program on TNT television.

It was called "Was Justice Denied?".  Burton Roberts, who played the judge in Bonfire of the Vanities, RIP, was also in it. We filmed all over Jefferson City, at the courthouse and the penitentiary, and the house where the dead mother lived.

I hope you get your libraries back.
