Took me 25 comments to reach a non-mississippi response. What the hell did this state do??

A Time to Kill took place in Mississippi.

The book was set in 1984. The movie was filmed in 1995/6 and they didn't age anything down.

It was still believable that a white jury would convict a black man of a crime they'd never convict a white man of in that time frame. Both the book and the movie were released in my lifetime and I'm not that old.

That movie sucked. He was guilty.

We should all have the right to kill anyone who rapes a nine-year-old and laughs about it, though. Especially if it's our daughter.
