What Carl Lee did is justice of the heart and soul. It
is not justice in the context or eyes of the law. In my eyes two men did a
heinous crime and Carl Lee need to enact his own justice. I would do the same
or at least I would like too.
2.
Carl Lee Hailey did this retaliation and for revenge of
the murder/rape of his daughter. A eye for an eye is the idea.
3.
If Carl Lee Haley was truly insane he should be placed
in a mental institution for treatment. He did commit a crime and whether or not
it is justified the law is the law and he should be placed in jail if he is not
insane.

The scales are strongly biased. In this small
Mississippi town it is unheard of that a Black person would receive a fair
trial. The jurors carry their own biases and prejudices into the courtroom with
them and so does the judge. This shown by the extreme reaction and division of
the town as a result of this trial.
5.
No it should not matter, it should never matter. But,
in this town it did/does - it took Jake Brigance to depetic the intense
rape,torture and eventual murder and then in the end told the jury to imagine
that same case but this time the girl is white not black. Up until that moment
the jury’s decision was still up in the air.
6.
In the end it may have taken a while but Carl Lee does
eventually receive his fair trial. It was a long road though far too long.
Thankfully, in the end the scales of justice were equal.
