Specifically, my questions pertain to the 1993 movie, and the legal ramifications surrounding his incarceration, escape, and the assumption of his exoneration as the logical conclusion to the movie:
As a fugitive in 1992/1993 Illinois, has he committed a crime that he will end up charged with after the probable exoneration (I don't even know if that's a proper legal term in this context) for the murder of his wife Helen? Would he be entitled to compensation by either the city of Chicago or the state of Illinois for his wrongful conviction? Escaping as a fugitive from the law is a separate crime, is it not? Or is it connected to the original guilty verdict of the crime he's escaping from, and so he would not be charged after exoneration?
What about everyone who helped him out while he was a fugitive: will they end up facing legal issues even though Dr. Kimble ends up inevitably found innocent of the crime he was convicted of?
I'm sorry if this is a lot of questions with nothing to tie it all together. It's sort of general curiosity after watching the movie and being awake for a day.
It seems the lead investigator (Tommy Lee Jones) has an unlimited source of funding to capture the somewhat insignificant accused - cue my favourite movie quote of all time: "every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in that area"
I get that he's an old timer cop who's dedicated to his industry, but it feels like it's all showing to be far too epic for what the situation is.
Also, I know this is kind of a silly question, as the movie wouldn't exist without the excitement of the chase.. maybe that's answering my question right there, but just reaching out if anyone had interesting information, after all this is what this subreddit is all about.
So I'll be bringing these to the live show and passing them out to anyone who wants one.

So I love this movie and I’m watching it tonight for maybe the 30th time and it occurs to me that Kimble is able to get food, clothes, counterfeiting supplies, and a basement apartment on what appears to be just some pocket money Dr. Nichols gives him. While I don’t want to be that guy that craps on a good movie I’d love some reasonable explanations or theories on how he might’ve achieved this.
Also bonus question Who the hell wallpapers a bedroom with a quilt and why?
Hi everyone! I know this an old post; however, I just found the Dr. Phil/Kim Richards video:
https://www.facebook.com/100055060128118/videos/448396736803060
It is fascinating to watch but please be kind. I’m an alcoholic struggling with sobriety. In my opinion, in true Dr. Phil fashion, he handled this unprofessionally. It is painful to watch this because I can feel her pain.
I know she is a reality TV star, but Jesus. If I had an “intervention” from my family and a “psychologist” like this — I’d be devastated. So please be kind. I know we all love to watch the show for the tea and have our little Kiki with our friends — but f*ck this is devastating to watch.
As the OP, someone who has had similar conversions with family and friends, please attempt to be kind and appropriate with your comments.
EDIT:
I’m overwhelmed by the love and support ❤️😭 I love this family of drama loving b*tches on this sub ✨✨✨ thank you so much for the support!!
I know the guy has a flair for the dramatic and thinks big in terms of harming his nemesis, but there’s gotta be at least a few minor things the king of latveria has done to stick it to mr.fantastic just to get a sense of satisfaction.
Hello everyone, I’m Toby Capwell, Curator of Arms and Armour at The Wallace Collection in London, UK, and an academic specialist in medieval and Renaissance weapons and armour. I am an author of various books and articles on this subject, most notably the Armour of the English Knight series, of which Book 2, covering the period 1450-1500, has just been published!

I’ve also written a lot about the history of jousting and formal tournament combat, for example:
https://wallacecollectionshop.org/products/arms-and-armour-of-the-medieval-joust
I often get asked to contribute to documentaries and other programming on TV and online, most recently on Insider’s ‘How Real Is It?’ program, discussing arms and armour in film and TC drama:

I’m also a practitioner of historical European martial arts, specifically the fighting techniques of the medieval knight, both on foot and on horseback. I’ve been designing, building and fighting in full plate armour for nearly thirty years.
Although I’m responsible for a public museum collection that spans the 8th to the 19th centuries CE, the 15th century has always been my core passion, and a lot of my work happens in that period – the age of the Wars of the Roses. As well as my published research in that area, I also contributed to the analysis of the remains of King Richard III after they were discovered in 2012. After the research on the skeleton was complete, I rode as one of the two fully armoured horsemen leading the funeral procession from Bosworth Field to Leicester Cathedral. And just this year, I have recently completed my work as historical advisor on the new Richard III feature film, The Lost King, coming out in 2022!
SO… ASK ME ANYTHING!

While on the surface it may seem obvious (and maybe its a question more well suited for a criminal justice sub) I don't understand why Richard Kimble is being pursued by U.S. Marshals. The Marshals are an extension of the Executive branch, and are only supposed to be involved in cases in violation of federal law.
Since Kimble is suspected of murdering his wife (not a federal crime) in Chicago (not a federal jurisdiction), why would the Marshal Service be involved in this case? Why would it be a federal case to begin with? I would've thought that the State of Illinois would be tapped to handle both his criminal proceedings and his eventual manhunt. What about this particular crime makes federal involvement justified? Did I miss something within the narrative?
Any judges or lawyers or law enforcement officers care to shed some light on this? Thanks!
I already posted this in a different Housewives thing, but I felt like this post belong here as well:
