Suspect is a 1987 mysterycourtroom film drama starring Cher, Dennis Quaid and Liam Neeson.
Around Christmas, a United States Supreme Court Justice commits suicide, for which no explanation or context is given. We only see the Justice making a tape recording and then shooting himself. Shortly after the suicide, the body of Elizabeth Quinn, a file clerk at the Justice Department, is found floating in the Potomac River, and Carl Wayne Anderson Liam Neeson, a homeless, deafmute Vietnam veteran, is arrested for the crime, based almost entirely on the fact that he was seen sleeping in Quinns car the night of her murder. Kathleen Riley Cher is the beleaguered D.C. public defender assigned to represent Anderson.The car was abandoned in the desolate K Street parking lot. Anderson, it is eventually revealed, found the car unlocked and was just looking for a warm place to sleep since it was the dead of winter. But since he was homeless, had no alibi, and was also found in possession of Quinns wallet, he was arrested for her murder. ........
