City Confidential: Rock Springs, WY on AllMovie

With only five people per square mile, Wyoming is the least populated state in the continental Union. Therefore it comes as no surprise that its citizens consider it cowboy country. A&E profiles one of the modern-day outlaws in City Confidential: Rock Springs, WY. Police Chief Ed Cantrell made an executive decision when he but a bullet into fellow officer Michael Rosa. Cantrell declared his actions to be self-defense, citing Rosa's involvement with drugs. But his Wild West actions were called into question anyway. While standing trial for the murder, Cantrell was accused of covering up corruption within the department. A&E follows the case of vigilante justice in this one-hour presentation.
