Wiki.
A Case of Deadly Force is an American made-for-TV drama film that was released on April 9, 1986. The movie was shot in Boston, Massachusetts, United States, starring Richard Crenna, John Shea and Dylan Baker.
The film was adapted from the 1983 true crime book Deadly Force: The True Story of How a Badge Can Become a License to Kill (alternately subtitled A Police Shooting and My Family's Search for the Truth) by Lawrence O'Donnell. O'Donnell wrote the book after the 1975 unjustified shooting of 25-year-old James Bowden - an unarmed black man shot by white police officers, and its attendant cover-up by the Boston Police Department - when his own family became involved in the case. His father, Lawrence O'Donnell Sr., was the attorney for the plaintiff, Patricia Bowden.
