Monmouth University has advanced screening of 'Miranda's Victim' filmed in Monmouth County
Monmouth University will host an advance screening of "Miranda's Victim" on Saturday.
The movie, which was filmed throughout Monmouth County, including Middletown, Red Bank, West Long Branch and even on Monmouth University's campus, is based on the court case that led to the Miranda rights precedent.
Here's how the news release describes the movie: "It’s 1963, when Trish, 18, walks home at night from her job at a Phoenix theater. Suddenly, a stranger brandishing a knife ties Trish up and forces her into the back seat of his 1953 Packard. He then takes her to a deserted road and brutally sexually assaults her. Determined to have her assailant jailed, Trish reports the sexual assault to the skeptical police. It’s only after Trish undergoes a polygraph test and an extremely humiliating physical exam, that the detectives discover other women have been similarly attacked. But no one could know that Trish’s commitment to finding justice would trigger a law that would transform a nation."
