Murder trial in Alaska pushes movie to Netflix top spot

Well, at least locally anyhow. According to the Anchorage Daily News the movie that prosecutors claim was the inspiration for a local murder is the top movie "Netflixed" (hey is that a verb?) by Alaskans.

The 1994 flick "The Last Seduction" was No. 1 on the Netflix local favorites list for Anchorage last week. Guess we can all figure out why. Wonder if the prosecutors who used it so shamelessly to taint the Linehan trial get a cut.
Prosecutors argued that she was inspired by the film and plotted to kill Leppink after viewing it. Defense lawyers say just because she thought it was a good movie doesn't mean she acted out its plot in her own life.

Seems like a great reason to move The Last Seduction to the top of my queue. More background on the case.
