Tommy knew who set up Andy and framed him for the murder. Tommy said that he had a cellmate that talked about how he had framed an accountant for the murder. Tommy was going to testify on what he heard for Andy so that Andy could get out of prison. Since Andy was doing all of the books for the warden where the warden was money laundering, he couldn't have Andy leave, otherwise he couldn't launder his money anymore. So he had Tommy killed and was able to keep his money laundering accountant.

That's part of the magic for the film, hardly anyone did. It was a sleeper hit on vhs, with recommendations all spread solely by word of mouth, because it's just that damn good. But let's be honest, it's not really a cinema film anyway.

If i saw the title "The Shawshank Redemption", i wouldnt see it either. the title wouldnt appeal to me, but i saw it on TV and thought it was amazing and now i got the 10th anniversary DVD set.

This movie shows what hope is all about and no one should never give up on what they believe.
