1. Is what Carl Lee Haley does "Justice"?
This question is subjective, but I personally don't think what he did was justice. It was completely reasonable for him to be angry and to want them dead. Because he knew that the justice system would fail him and let the men who raped his 10 year old daughter off with only a few years in jail he wanted to take the law into his own hands. I think it was reasonable that he was acquitted because he wasn't thinking clearly, but I don't think that it was justice
2. Carl Lee kills the men because they raped and attempted to murder his 10 year old daughter
3. I think he should have, and was, acquitted. He was acting on his emotions and acting out of insanity because of his fragile state.
4. The scales of justice are not balanced. Carl Lee Haley was a black man being judged by a completely white jury, which would be biased against him. Justice would also not having been given to the two men because they were white and wouldn't have been punished as severely.
5. I think it matters in the south because to them the rape of a black girl is less important than the rape of a white girl, but it shouldn't matter. Tanya should get her justice no matter the color of her skin.
6. No, Carl Lee and his lawyer have to work harder and use unorthodox methods to get their justice.
