Robert Redford film quote on the right to a defense circulates
Original: "It may seem untrue to you, but we do live in a free country and people are entitled to a decent defense." -Robert Redfo
A line from the 2012 film The Company You Keep is being shared: "It may seem untrue to you, but we do live in a free country and people are entitled to a decent defense." In the film, Robert Redford plays Jim Grant, a former Weather Underground member living under an assumed name, and also directed the political thriller.
Why now: The quote's message about free speech and legal defense resonates amid current political debate.
