The murder of Betty Jean?

I have never seen this movie, but I was wondering how the murder of the parents and the baby are handled? Just curious. I have had an interest in the Starkweather case for years now, since Murder in the Heartland in 1993. Is it handled like that? I thought that was a very good movie! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Murder in the Heartland to come out on DVD sometime soon.

I've seen the film since I posted that. In real life Betty Jean was about 2 or so, which would still be considered a baby. Yeah, I know what your talking about. I hate when people change things like that. Murder in the Heartland is still the most accurate portrayal of the Starkweather murders.

Amen to that.

"And anyway, 16 yr olds can legally marry."

Doesn't mean they should.

I think we need FEWER under-educated individuals in this country, not more.
