In 1991, a chance meeting at a Palm Beach nightclub between William Kennedy Smith and a woman led to a highly publicized rape trial. It became one of the first trials broadcast nationally. The alleged victim, her identity disguised on screen, was at the center of this media frenzy. Following a 10-day trial, the case became emblematic of a "he-said, she-said" courtroom battle.
