#WITNESS TO A CRIME MOVIE#
Herein, Gary's character demonstrates strong James Bond overtones, but the disappointing screenplay helps make for a movie that in no way presents a threat to the genuine 007 series. Unbeknownst to most folks, this is actually the first (or second?) part in a short-lived franchise for Daniels that also includes QUEEN'S MESSENGER. The story: On a mission to deliver vital dispatches to an embassy in Africa, a special forces operative (Daniels) is caught up in a terrorist operation headed by a sadistic rebel (Nick Boraine). While a viewing does reveal some unique touches, the movie isn't worth hunting down to all but the most enthusiastic Daniels fan.

Contrary to what many people believe, the prosecutor does not need any physical evidence of your guilt. In many domestic assault and criminal sexual conduct cases, there is little to no physical evidence supporting the charges. That person’s statement is often enough for you to be charged and convicted of the crime. In domestic assault and criminal sexual conduct cases, often the only eyewitness the prosecutor has is the alleged victim of the offense. However unfair as it may seem the prosecutor can file charges against you even if they only have one eyewitness to support the charges.
