A Moment of Clarity

In a small town, in the smallest county in the Florida panhandle, a twenty-five-year-old cold case murder is re-opened.  A new female police officer visits a seniors’ residence to find out that the prime witness in the case, Jacob Jeebs, was officially diagnosed with Alzheimer’s last year but is still in the early stages. 

Both the judge and the sheriff are locals and have been in their jobs for over thirty years and remember the initial investigation very well.  In fact, the two of them along with Jacob Jeebs have been fishing together every Sunday morning for almost three decades.

This new information might lead to a conviction of the main suspect from twenty-five years ago.  But what would the legal ramifications be?  An Alzheimer’s patient has never testified at a trial of any kind before.

How can you put him on the witness stand?  How can you not?  He is the only one who knows the truth.  Will the defense be able to tear his testimony apart or will the prosecution defend the validity of using a witness who can’t recall what he had for breakfast this morning, but can remember an event that happened years ago in astonishing detail?  ‘A Moment of Clarity’, a ground-breaking legal drama that answers those questions in a compelling, creative way.
