Wiki.
Trial is a 1955 American drama film starring Glenn Ford, Dorothy McGuire, Arthur Kennedy and Juano Hernandez, and directed by Mark Robson. Based on the novel written by Don Mankiewicz, it is about a Mexican boy accused of rape and murder; originally victimized by prejudiced accusers, he becomes a pawn of his communist defender, whose propaganda purposes would be best served by a verdict of guilty.
