There was a movie made in 1988 about the Rothenburg case (in which Charles Rothenburg set fire to his six-year-old son, David, after losing a custody battle with his ex-wife), starring none other than Matt Lawrence (of "Boy Meets World" fame) as David and John Glover (who plays Lionel Luther on "Smallville") as Charles.
Actually, it looks like it's more about the life of David Rothenberg than it is about the incident.
But that's not the point.
Perhaps I'm the only one who finds this even remotely interesting, but I thought it was noteworthy.
