I liked this quite a bit. I'm just not sure how much you're trying to leave us hanging at the end. Was it consensual, rape, is he lying entirely? I guess you want us completely in the dark. It's making me want to know which, so I guess mission accomplished!

At first I read it that were planning to hang a pregnant woman, but that was no fault of the writer's.

Entirely believable last bit of vengeance, doesn't matter what anyone else thinks... there's now doubt in the Marshall's mind, which in moments of human weakness he may take out on the child. That is a lot of evil packed into a few lines.

This was a great script.

One might think a little too deeply that it wouldn't have mattered if the man was hanged or not. They didn't have DNA testing back then. It would be the crooks word against his wife's either way.

Although, as a human with a set of testicles I can imagine the jealous fury that the Sheriff would be in. He probably would have wanted to grill the guy for clues.

Good scripts have the audience asking questions when it's over. This script did just that.

Excellent.

Have nothing to add really. Was well done. There's a twist. Solid work, however it didn't move me like some of the other scripts have.

Wasn't bad. It just doesn't grab me as a stand alone filmable Short.
