Fracture (2007) on Netflix

Plot summary

LAPD detective Lt. Rob Nunally leads a squad investigating reported gunshots at the home of the wealthy Crawfords, husband and wife Ted and Jennifer. Nunally enters the house facing Ted holding a gun, he confessing to shooting Jennifer, who is lying unconscious or dead in a pool of her own blood a short distance away from him. As the police take Ted into custody, the police station where he will subsequently sign a written confession as to having shot Jennifer, other first responders find that Jennifer is still alive, although the eventual diagnosis is that, pending a miracle, she will not ever awaken from her coma, thus being placed on life support. The case is assigned to ambitious young deputy district attorney, Willy Beachum. Despite being a good lawyer, Willy has thus far scripted his own success - a 97% conviction rate - achieved somewhat by handing over unwinnable cases to other DDAs. This case will be his last in the DA's office as he has been hired by prestigious private firm, Wooton Sims. This move of being hired by a private firm is much quicker than most of Willy's predecessors and colleagues in the DA's office, again achieved partly on a calculated action on his part. Although Willy is unsure if he will see this case through to its conclusion, he is tasked to do so as the case looks to be concluded before he is scheduled to be at Wooton Sims.
