In brief, Michael Gallagher (Paul Newman), the son of a deceased Miami bootlegger, is being investigated by a federal task force trying to solve a murder case. One of Gallaghers friends contacts the investigative newspaper reporter, Meghan Carter (Sally Field), covering the story to provide his alibi, which includes significant privacy concerns.

Read and reflect on the case: Review the facts, discussion and commentary.

b) Make a brief outline: Who is involved in the case? What ethical dilemmas do they face? Are there any special circumstances that would influence the outcome?
c) Apply an ethical decision-making tool or justification model, such as the Potter Box, SAD Formula or Doing Ethics tools. In reflecting on the case use these questions to develop your analysis. What are the ethical issues involved? The values? How can those values be applied as principles? What are the loyalties? Who are the stakeholders involved? How would the decision play in the court of public opinion?
d) The ethical decision: Do you agree with the ethical decision, if one was made? What would you have done? What ethical theories can you use to justify your decision?
f) Reformulate the problem: What is the case really about? What ethical issues are central to the problem? What conflicts between ideas, perspectives, or values are involved in deciding what action to take? Whose interests (e.g. public, subject, client, company, journalist, advertiser, PR practitioner) are really at stake? What are the alternatives? What would you have done differently if you were in charge? Did they act in a responsible and ethical manner?
g) Make thoughtful assumptions about the information not available in the case
