Martha Coakley (who "campaigned" against Scott Brown in MA) is prominently mentioned in this film many times. She was the [Edit*] DA for Middlesex County when DNA evidence exonerated Kenny Waters and initially refused to release him.
From YouTube:
CONVICTION is the inspirational true story of a sister's unwavering devotion to her brother. When Betty Anne Waters' (two-time Academy® Award winner Hilary Swank) older brother Kenny (Sam Rockwell) is arrested for murder and sentenced to life in 1983, Betty Anne, a Massachusetts wife and mother of two, dedicates her life to overturning the murder conviction.
*[Edit] I first said that Coakley was the prosecuting attorney for the Waters case--that is incorrect.
