Did you know

Jodie Foster landed the role of Libby after Meg Ryan and Brooke Shields both declined, but was replaced by Ashley Judd when Foster became pregnant.

While it's true that the U.S. Constitution forbids a person to be tried for the same crime after being acquitted, being convicted for a crime does not give a person license to then go and commit that same crime they were convicted of. Also, murder is not the only crime that Libby Parsons could have been charged with - others would include carrying a concealed weapon, stalking, manslaughter, and parole violation.

Despite playing the main character and protagonist, Ashley Judd took second billing behind Tommy Lee Jones.
