I felt that this thread, I create relate to Parenting Section instead of Entertainment Section because of touchy issues for the parents and children.

My young son Alan & I went to shopping mall after doctor appointment yesterday. He want to buy something with coupon, he got from his friend for his birthday gift last Sunday. I look around DVDs until "Too Young to Die" scream on the DVD got me attention. I read back of DVD and said that it's true story... I must see it. I did!

It's very depressing movie, I ever seen... Have you seen this movie?

I hope this link would fresh your memory...

Its about 15 years old Amanda Sue Bradley who sentenced to death in 1989 and made the true movie by Amanda's lawyer in 1990. I read the story after end of movie and say that Amanda is not only one but 28 teenagers who wait death row like her.

15 years old... Oh dear! She does not deserve to punish to death.

This movie remind me of Amy Fisher... I can image Amy would of sentence to death for murder Mary Jo but she is very lucky because Mary Jo is survived. Amy Fisher is happily married and mother of 2 children. Amanda?


Do you think it's meanfuling to sentence teenagers to death like this? Please read this links first before make posts ....

sounds good... what crime did she committed?

Liebling:-)))

Have you read 3 links, I provided in my thread? It tells you story.

They sentenced 15 years old Amanda Sue Bradley to death for murder and kidnapped.

She was raised by an uncaring mother and a drunken, abusive stepfather. She was sexually abuse by stepdad... Amanda left home to marry her boyfriend when she was 14 years old.
Unfortunlately, their marriage is not long, he left her for join to Army. She went back to mother and found out that her mom and stepdad moved out without leave forward address. She has no money and no else to live... so she wandered place to place until she met Billy. Billy offered her a job as stripper at club and fed her drugs to help her overcome her shyness. It´s not just stripper but prostituion as well. She met divorced Army sergeant Mike with 2 kids and fall in love with him and her new and better life, she ever had with him... Mike was being treaten by Army Service after found out who Amanda is and her age etc. (Amanda lied Mike about her age in first place). They said that Mike will lose his job and face court if he is with Amanda. Mike love her but he decide for legal and send Amanda away. She went back o Billy with heartbroken. Billy fed Amanda with full of drugs and persuaded her to kill Mike as revenage. They broke in Mike's home and kidnapped Mike and his new girlfriend and put them to an oil field. Amanda was full drugs and angry and stabbed Mike to death. Lawyer tried to fight to save death sentence... Unfortunlately juries decided for death penatly because Amanda tried being as an adult. She is found guilty and sentenced to death. There´re 28 teenagers waited in death row as her... It was happened in 1989... One year later Lawyer made the film about Amanda´s life... Very depressing and sad movie...

I can image Amy Fisher would end like her if Mary Jo is killed... See, now Amy is happily married and 2 kids... She admitted her mistakes in the past... I bet Amanda would say the same as Amy when she is alive...

What happened to the real girl? I searched and searched the internet but there is no information about her. Did they change her name for the movie character?

Liebling:-)))

See the 3 links, I provided here... Is it not enough?

It´s true story... Amanda´s lawyer made the film for her. They sentenced her to death in Olkamana (sp)


I hope this link will helps

I read the links about the movie. I wanted to know about the real girl, the real story.

I hope this link will help you

I will watch DVD again and will get the name of Amanda´s lawyer and which place... then research the name of Amanda´s lawyer. I know it´s in Olkamama.(sp)



I have to beleive it because DVD says it´s true story and it also written in movie that it´s true story in 1989.

That's the same link that I found. It's just about the movie. It's not about the real girl.

I searched thru Oklahoma's death penalty links, and I still can't find the case. Maybe that was not her real name?

I can't find anything under the lawyer's name either.

Reba

Her lawyer made the movie? Are you sure about that?

Reba

I guess I'm not the only frustrated person.

From one of the links:

"Frustrating as the film purports to be a true story but there is no postscript providing any factual details about Bradley. There is the usual trailer at the end of the film stating that the story is based upon certain factual events and persons, however ...(then we have all usual legal disclaimers).

My trawl of the Internet has found no details of any teenage murderess called Bradley or any other likely candidates who have had a change of name for the film. My search took in various sites about the convicted and condemned, starting in Oklahoma (the State where it appears Bradley was tried). I found details about being a pen pal to a resident of Death Row but no sign of Amanda Sue.

If there is anybody with any knowledge of the actual case, or a genuine case that the characters and incidents were based upon I would be interested to hear from you."

Yes it says in end of movie... I will watch again and let you know which name of Amanda´s lawyer and will note what the end of movie say and type this post here later to let you know.. Ok

I'm just curious what actually happened to the girl.

CODAchild

Thank you for the input Leibling, I will have to watch that movie. What a shame that a girl that young, commited such an awful crime, but, her life had been such a bad one. Sounds like a good movie to watch. Thanks again!!

Welcome

My hubby & I watched on TV during afternoon coffee today.

I noted after end of movie...

I copied what the end of movie says.

Lawyer´s name is Buddy Thornton. (I belelive it´s false name to protect his real name).

Story by David Hill

That´s all what the end of movie written... It didn´t says that Amanda´s lawyer made the movie but my hubby suspect that it´s Amanda´s best friend Jean and lawyer work together to make movie because it´s them who know a lot about Amanda´s past history.

It got my hubby pain after watch on TV for a first time today.

Hi Liebling,

Thanks for the info.

After reading the disclaimer that you posted, I understand that the story is a mix of fact and fiction.

I tried to do an internet search of David Hill but there wasn't any more info about him or his writings.

The lawyer's name is fake, so I can't do any search for him. Oh, well.

Cejow

I don't remember any thing like that and I am from Oklahoma. I will ask my dad though he's a sheriff.

LakeTahoe

I copied and pasted from my BBV website since I am a membership on it.
I did watched the movie but it is not Closed Captioned? There is no subtitles on portable DVD Player? I haven't test it on my regluar DVD player yet. I will today. SInce I wanted to mail the movies back tomorrow.

It look really sad movie...I will BE sure to watch it! And I pray it will be CC on it otherwise I'll have !


Full Synopsis

Another "based on fact" TV movie, Too Young to Die? stars Juliette Lewis as a benighted teenaged girl. She is married at 14, is deserted, and begins walking the streets at 15. Abused by virtually every man with whom she comes in contact (including her own father), Lewis commits murder--and finds herself on Death Row before reaching her 16th birthday. Michael Tucker is the attorney who pleads that his client not be tried as an adult. Despite all the horrendous wrongs piled upon Juliette Lewis in Too Young to Die?, her character fails to elicit audience sympathy. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
