...Riding Hood motif dreams of Rosaleen provide the ostensible framework for all the werewolf permutations. We only rub against reality during the very wispy frame scenes that depict nothing much: Rosaleen breathes heavily in her sleep.

But everywhere the jurors went, the deputies went too. All the defendants had been members of Chicago street gangs, and the authorities did not want to take any chances on attacks or disruptions by other gang members. "It was like a giant baby...
