Richard Jewell
Based on the true story of a man who had a passion for law enforcement who saved many many lives at the Centennial Park in Georgia from a pipe bomb in a backpack and was declared by many of those there a hero.
Later, he was under investigation by the FBI for being the “suspect” who “planted” the bomb, as well as being defamed by the Media with their libel and slander for them to obtain their “headlines”. Over the time, he and his lawyer Watson Bryant went beyond all lengths and measures to prove his innocence. Some more investigation went on professionally and properly by Bryant and some other lawyers who represented him to know that he couldn’t have made the call to 9-1-1, let alone put the bomb there, while evacuating the area where the bomb was put.
Long story short, after 88 days after the bombing, the “investigation” was ended and Richard Jewell was cleared and no longer under investigation and was pardoned.
Sometime later, he rejumped his career as a police officer once again in another department. During those time periods, he sued CNN, the FBI, the Atlanta Journal Constitution, and Piedmont College for defamation and libel and slander. He got married sometime later to a woman named Dana and they bought a ranch in his town where he continued his career as a police officer. Somewhere along the line, the one who put the bomb at the park, Eric Rudolph, came in and confessed and turned himself in. August 29th, 2007, Richard Jewell died of heart failure followed by a series of health complications, including diabetes that followed by in the following months, at age 44.
