Lionsgate has released a trailer for Reasonable Doubt, a crime thriller from director Peter Howitt (Sliding Doors) and screenwriter Peter A. Dowling (Flightplan) about a District Attorney who fatally strikes a pedestrian with his car and flees the scene, leaving another man to take the fall for the crime.

The guilty DA takes the accused man’s case and proceeds to fumble it in a successful attempt to have him set free. All works out great up until the DA discovers that the man is a serial killer with an unquenchable thirst for blood.

Reasonable Doubt stars Dominic Cooper (The Devil’s Double) as the District Attorney, Samuel Jackson as the killer, and Erin Karpluk (pictured) as the DA’s wife. The film arrives on VOD and in selected theaters on Jan. 17.
