"BERNIE"

[williamlayton]

Has anyone seen this movie. It is a true story. They use actual townspeople for part of the cast. Funny, beyound words.
It is the only trial a DA ever had moved to another town because he cound't get a jury from Carthage, Tx to convict the murderer.

Hello Uncle Bill!   Wasn't that the Case where the funeral director courted the rich widow, then later shot her and went on a spending spree? I saw it on a TV crime show. I helped moved drilling rigs up in the Carthage area back in the late '70s.

I didn't know it was on a crime show but it sure sounds the same.
Everybody loved Bernie.
It was not like he was a bad guy----she was just plain mean.

I watched it about a month ago. Entertaining.
