She Made Them Do It

I CANNOT be anymore clear about that. None of the evidence that she was convicted on makes any sense whatsoever. The prosecutor who put her behind bars and used to refer to her as "a female Charles Manson" even now admits he made a mistake. He is now helping to get her out. Besides the great acting, this movie is so cheesy it stinks to the bowels of bloody hell. It is also has a complete choppy sense of direction, is inaccurate, cheap production, bad script. Also, the arrest takes place within just ten minutes from the beginning of the movie. They could have waited a little longer. I only give this movie three out of yen stars because the only thing good about it is the acting.

The film title is "She Made Them Do It," suggesting that Sarah Jo Pender coerced women in prison to assist her in her escape and her subsequent struggle to evade the long arm of the law on the outside. But the interpretation of Pender's character by the filmmakers is enormously sympathetic and implies that Pender's associates were getting something in return, rather than being forced. Yet another choice of the filmmakers was to portray Pender's likely innocence of the crime of murdering two people for which she was convicted and sent to prison. Until a brief "alternative" flashback clip at the end, it was clear that Pender asked her boyfriend to request that a couple of his friends to leave their home and he killed them. To this day, the real Sarah Jo Pender maintains her innocence. Pender made America's Most Wanted television show as the master manipulator and a predator, whose victims "end up dead or in jail." But the film portrays a savvy and even sensitive Pender, who uses her intellect to help her fellow inmates understand the law. The most moving relationship is with a young hooker who was separated from her children for acts of solicitation. Pender helps reunite a mom with her kids. A limitation of the film was in the depiction of the U.S. Marshall who became obsessed with the Pender case and tracked her down like the unscrupulous Inspector Javert pursuing Jean Valjean in "Les Miséerables" for the crime of stealing a loaf of bread. It is nearly impossible to watch "She Made Them Do It," and not root for the Sarah Jo Pender in the film, as well as for the real Sarah Jo languishing in solitary confinement in an Illinois prison to this day.

I loved the whole wait shit did she do it oh nah know way and just had me switching every minute I truly have no idea whether she did it or not and it kept me so intrigued
