Description
Near the rural town of Clanton, Mississippi, little Tonya Hailey is brutally raped, beaten, and left for dead by two drunken and remorseless men. The rapists are almost immediately caught in a roadside bar, where they have been bragging of their exploits. When the men appear in court days latter, Tonya's fater Carl bursts out of the courthouse basement, and executes them with an assault rifle. Murder or execution? Justice or revenge? Carl trusts his life to only one man in town - local criminal lawyer Jake Brigance, who dreams of famous cases, headlines, and the big time. Jake is about to face the fight of his life, and he knows it. Not Only is he up against Rufus Buckley - a tough, ambitious district attornery who realizes that a murder conviction could help him gain higher office - but he has a much bigger problem: the rapists are white, the judge white - and Carl is black. This is a trail sure to change forever the lives of everyone involved.
