Corrected entry: Sandra Bullock first arrives in the film by driving into town prior to the trial of two rapists. After her arrival, the victim's father Samuel L Jackson (Carl Lee) kills the rapists in open court. When Matthew McConnaughey later asks Bullock why she's in town, she says "Carl Lee", yet at the time of her arrival she can't have known who Carl Lee was as he hadn't committed any crime.
A Time to Kill (1996)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Joel Schumacher
Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Donald Sutherland, Kevin Spacey, Kiefer Sutherland, Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock
Factual error: Toward the end of the film, Matthew McConnaughey is in his office late at night and hears someone outside (it turns out to be his wife). However, McConnaughey draws a revolver from his desk drawer and we can hear (but not see) him pulling the hammer back to cock the gun. Problem is: When pulling back the hammer on a revolver, the cylinder turns to rotate the next bullet into position. The cylinder did not turn. The sound we heard was obviously added by the sound editors after the scene was shot.
Jake Tyler Brigance: There ain't nothin' more dangerous in this world than a fool with a cause.
Trivia: The first time Kiefer and Donald Sutherland have starred together since the former's film debut in "Max Dugan Returns."
Question: Why does it matter if the psychiatrist was convicted of statutory rape? How does it affect his ability to determine Carl Lee's sanity?
Answer: The conviction, and his subsequent lying about it, bring his credibility seriously in doubt.

Correction: She's referring to why she's staying in town, not why she came into town in the first place.
