Find Me Guilty is a 2006 crime drama film directed by Sidney Lumet and starring Vin Diesel. The film is based on the true story of Jack DiNorscio, a mobster who defended himself in court for 21 months during the longest mafia trial in U.S. history.
The movie takes place in the late 1980s, when a huge gangster trial involving 20 members of the Lucchese crime family is set to take place. DiNorscio, who is facing a possible 30-year sentence, is offered a plea deal by the prosecution in exchange for information about the other members of the crime family. However, DiNorscio refuses to cooperate and decides to represent himself in court.
Throughout the trial, DiNorscio's unorthodox defense tactics and charismatic personality win over the jury and even the judge. His humorous and colorful antics in the courtroom offer a stark contrast to the seriousness of the trial, and he manages to keep the jury entertained and emotionally invested in his defense.
Despite facing long odds and the possibility of a life sentence, DiNorscio remains steadfast in his belief that he can win the case. Through his efforts, he manages to bring about a surprising outcome that no one could have predicted.
Overall, Find Me Guilty is a compelling and entertaining courtroom drama that showcases the quirky personality and indomitable spirit of Jack DiNorscio.
