a time to kill Thomas Neumann
I think what Carl Lee Haley does is justice, these men raped, beat, and attempted to kill his daughter, if the nurse didn't break they would have murdered her. If they got charged it most likely would have been for around 20 years in prison then they could walk. No person to do the type of things those men did should walk. So CLH took things into his own hand and killed them so they could never do what they did to his daughter this was justice and what they deserved but that doesn't necessarily mean it was the right thing to do. I think CLH should have no punishment, as they expressed in the movie most people would've reacted the same way, and they claimed he was momentarily insane. He had no control over his actions so he should not be punished. He was already punished enough when his daughter was raped and beaten. This movie took place deep in the south so I think justice was different depending whether you were black or white. I don't think it should matter whether Tanya Haley is black or white but being realistic I think it did in the movie. I think CLH would have lost but won it at the closing arguments when the jury was told to imagine Tanya was white because when they pictured that that realized how horrible it was when it was to someone they cared about. Due process did not work for CLH in this movie. Due process was not able to work for CLH he was not able to have a fair trial because the judge refused to move the trial to a different site even though the judge himself knew it would be completely unfair to hold the trial in the original location. Just because he won doesn't mean it was a fair trial.
