Bat country

According to Cinematical, Hollywood is eyeing a movie adaptation of one of the real incidents in journalist Hunter S. Thompson's life. Shortly before his death in 2005, Thompson set out to help a young woman who had been wrongly imprisoned. His 2004 article "Prisoner of Denver" tells the story of Lisl Auman, who was arrested in 1997 for a break-in. She was handcuffed in a police car when her accomplice was involved in a fatal shoot-out with police that killed an officer, but she was still found guilty of a felony murder and sentenced to life without parole. She wrote to Thompson from prison and he became a champion for her cause.
