A movie in which a man makes his wife believe that she has murdered someone (Solved)


I think that this is a television movie. A man, Clayton, and a woman, Brianna, are married and have a daughter named Lily. The family somehow becomes involved in a crime that leads to murder. Brianna initially can't remember the event clearly, and her husband manipulates her thoughts to the point where she thinks that she is responsible for the death of the victim. She is charged with first degree murder and sent to prison, but innocent. Clayton abuses his daughter until she is taken from him, possibly due to an arrest, and forced to live with her father's mother, who is also abusive. It is revealed that Brianna's older sister is actually her biological mother, which apparently gives her leverage over Clayton's mother for custody of their granddaughter. The maternal grandparents know about the continued abuse and drive to where Lily is, which might be school, and get her attention with the car horn. She manages to run away from her paternal grandmother and leaves with the married couple. The grandparents take Lily to talk to a judge about her parents. She reveals the brainwashing of her mother and says that her father has hit her. Brianna is pardoned and released from prison. Clayton is probably the real murderer.

I found using IMDB filters and perhaps it's your movie. Here is Mr Brianne, daughter Lily and husband Clay.
'The Unspoken Truth" (1995) - it has only 183 votes in IMDB database.

In this fact-based story, a woman is convinced by her bad-boy husband to take the blame for a crime he committed, and her life is soon thrown into turmoil.

Thank you, wositelec. Yes, that was it. I just had the wrong letter for the mother's name, but every time that I heard it, I thought that it was Brianna.
