Twisted Desire

The movie also stars Meadow Sisto, David Lascher, Eric Laneuville, Kurt Fuller, and R&B/pop singer Jeremy Jordan, with Collin Wilcox Paxton in a supporting role. It aired on May 13, 1996, on NBC. The film is presented as based on real events: the 1990 double murder of James Baxter "J.B." and Katherine "Kathy" Wiseman in Hartfield, Virginia, committed by their 14-year-old daughter Jessica Lynn Wiseman and her 17-year-old boyfriend, Douglas Christopher Thomas. Thomas was executed in 2000, when the death penalty for juveniles was still a legal punishment, while Wiseman was tried as a juvenile and sentenced to six years in prison, from which she was released at age 21. Jennifer Stanton is a wealthy, rebellious teenager whose father, Bill, is overprotective, strict, and controlling, while her mother, Susan, barely takes her side. When Bill prohibits Jennifer from attending a concert, this—along with Bill's strictness in general—becomes the last straw for her boyfriend, Brad, who breaks up with her. The following morning, Bill admonishes Jennifer for dressing in clothing he deems too 'revealing' for school and forces her to change. Jennifer and her best friend, Karen Winkler, detour to a gas station so they can get gas and Jennifer can change back into her original outfit in the bathroom.
