'Ambush Murders' a lesson in abuse of law and justice
NEW YORK (AP) - There is a gritty, “Hill Street Blues” feel to “The Ambush Murders” a sensation triggered, perhaps, by the often humorless joshing during roll call in the police squadroom. For both the acclaimed NBC series and CBS’ made-for-TV movie to be broadcast Tuesday evening, 9-11 EST begin in that setting, a locale that seems always to suggest trouble ahead. The relationship between the two TV shows ends there, however, and “The Ambush Murders,” based on a real-life story, quickly becomes a gripping lesson in abuse of the law and justice. “Just give me a conviction,” the district attorney tells an associate in a golf-course conversation that sets the tone for the movie. “The people of Lindero are demanding it. ” “You mean your re-election is demanding it,” the prosecutor says. “It wouldn’t hurt your career either,” the DA replies. “The Ambush Murders” is the story of Ray Ellsworth, a black activist accused of killing two cops in an ambush the evening of April 12, 1971. It begins after the scene is set with Ellsworth, played by Dorian Harewood, facing a third trial. His wife, Kariha (Alfre Woodard), finds a young, white lawyer, Paul Marshall (James Broiin) willing to take the case, but Ellsworth isn’t sure he’s ready to accept “plain white bread.” Marshall assures Ellsworth that he’s prepared to commit himself to the accused killer’s defense. “We were both in the Marines,” he says, searching for some common ground. Almost at once, the bearded lawyer begins to uncover the weaknesses in the government’s case against Ellsworth

lies, half-truths, pressured jailhouse statements. Motivation for the authorities’ pursuit of Ellsworth is never really clear. The cop in charge of the investigation, played by Louis Giambalvo, may be nothing more than a bigot. But why the prosecuting attorney, Barnes (Robert Denison), persists with the flimsy case is a mystery. “The Ambush Murders” a compelling story well told was adapted from a book by reporter Ben Bradlee Jr., based on the ambush-killing of two policemen in Riverside, Calif., in 1971, and the subsequent prosecution of Gary W. Lawton. When Lawton was acquitted just over four years later, after his third trial, the case was closed. Bradlee covered the last of the trials for the Riverside Pree-Enterprise. In a newspaper interview after the book was published, the reporter said, “I think the police were sincere in moving on Lawton. But they tended to put on blinders to evidence that pointed them in another direction. “I don’t know who did it,” the writer said. “I don’t know any responsible person who does.”
