DVD Synopsis
In this thriller, Ashley Judd plays Elizabeth Parsons, who is convicted of murdering her husband and sentenced to a long stretch in prison. After Elizabeth has spent six years behind bars, it turns out that her husband is still alive: he faked his own death as part of an insurance scam, and Elizabeth is soon released. However, Elizabeth's feelings for her husband can hardly be described as warm, and she wants custody of her son. Elizabeth's parole officer (Tommy Lee Jones) wonders if she might try to make his murder a real thing after all, especially since the law states a person cannot be convicted of the same crime twice. Double Jeopardy was directed by Bruce Beresford, from a screenplay by Douglas S. Cook and David Weisberg. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

I love this movie! I think Ashley Judd and Tommy Lee Jones were excellent choices for the roles that they played. I have this movie in VHS, but wanted it in DVD to add to my collection.

This film is well written and directed. Our justice system is not perfect. This film explores the Double Jeopardy attached to individuals in our court system who are found guilty.
Ashly Judd is a woman who is charged with the murder of her husband. She services time for the deed and is on parol in a half way house. Then she finds her very alive husband.
I don't want to tell the whole story, but it is well worth your time to watch. Enjoy!
