About this deal

Because of internal problems with the film's original distributor, First Look International, the film was not released theatrically. [2] The Showtime television network officially premiered An American Crime on May 10, 2008. [3] The film was nominated for a Golden Globe, a Primetime Emmy (both for Keener's performance), and a Writers Guild of America Award. In La psychologie des foules, 1895, translated a year later as The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind in English, Gustave le Bon proposed a theory of the “group mind,” an unconscious force created by a contagion of feeling that quivers through its multiple individual parts to become a single mental reality. “ The crowd is credulous and readily influenced by suggestion.” In the grip of this contagion mentale, a person enters a kind of hypnotic trance. His conscious personality vanishes, and he moves to the rhythms of the greater whole. Crowds, le Bon’s theory goes, are impulsive, irritable, irrational, volatile, and morally righteous. They become, he maintained, like those beings who are insufficiently evolved—“women,” “children,” and “savages.” Marc Hoover: Interview with Dianna Bedwell". The Clermont Sun. February 25, 2021 .

The following day, Gertrude Baniszewski testified in her own defense. She denied any responsibility for Likens's prolonged abuse, torment, and ultimate death, claiming her children, and other children within her neighborhood must have committed the acts within her home, which she described as being "such a madhouse". She also added that she had been too preoccupied with her own ill health and depression to control her children. [16] Naso, Ronald C.; Mills, Jon (2016).
