Gib's ihm Chris (1991)
Derek Bentley ist seit einem Unfall in der Kindheit geistig zurückgeblieben. Ein Umstand der dem sympathischen jungen Mann zum Verhängnis werden soll. Zusammen mit dem Kleinganoven Chris Craig begeht er einen Einbruch in ein Lagerhaus und wird dabei von der Polizei auf frischer Tat ertappt. Bentley ruft Craig die Worte „Gib’s ihm, Chris“ zu und besiegelt damit sein Todesurteil. Craig erschießt nämlich daraufhin einen Polizisten und das Gericht gibt Bentley die Mitschuld für diesen Mord.
