Double Jeopardy with Ashley Judd and Tommy Lee Jones

Double Jeopardy

Virgin Media One, 10.05pm

"It's called double jeopardy. I learned a few things in prison, Nick. I could shoot you in the middle of Mardi Gras and they can't touch me."

An oldie but still good. Framed for the murder of her husband, Libby Parsons (Ashley Judd) survives the long years in prison with two burning desires sustaining her — finding her son and solving the mystery that destroyed her once-happy life. Standing between her and her quest, however, is her parole officer (Tommy Lee Jones).

Ashley Judd has said she believes she was blackballed by Harvey Weinstein because she was not afraid of him. She was among the first women to accuse the movie mogul of sexual harassment, and says he sabotaged her career.
