like a deer in the headlines

The facial expression we have come to know - panic-stricken, wide-eyed and immobilized, not knowing which way to run, realizing that your crimes, sins and errors of judgement are suddenly America's number one topic.

The movie mogul had figured no one would ever talk, and if they did, who would believe them, yet here he stood, cameras on him from all sides, barraged by shouting reporters, like a deer in the headlines.
