A Time to Kill- John Grisham

Last time I was at the beginning of the trial of Carl Lee Hailey. Now i'm at the point were the trial is almost over. The lawyers have all given their speeches and had the witnesses on the stand. The jury is trying to come to a conclusion. The secratary of Jake, her husband died because the Ku Klux Klan beat him so badlly. Ellen, Jake's "understudy" so to say, was captured by the KKK and tied to a pole in the country and almost set fire too. She was found after a guy by the name of "Mickey Mouse" tipped them off. She only had a concussion and they cut her hair down to nothing. But she lived. The KKK also set fire to Jake's house and it burned to the ground.... it was a restored old home that the town and it's tourists took pictures of. Jake still has not told his wife (who is out of town). A short time after that the KKK had someone shoot at Jake while he was going to court. But luckly the national guard were surrounding him, butone of the guardsmen was shot in the neck. He lived but is paralized. I'm almost done with this book i find very interesting. I've never really like books like this but i really enjoy this book. A Time to Kill is definatly a good book if you like murder and law.
