ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"A Time to Kill" by John Grisham is a legal thriller set in a small Mississippi town, where a black man, Carl Lee Hailey, takes the law into his own hands after his daughter is brutally assaulted. The story follows the young and inexperienced lawyer, Jake Brigance, who is assigned to defend Hailey against a charge of murder after he kills the two men responsible for the crime. The novel explores themes of racial injustice, revenge, and the complexities of the legal system. As the trial unfolds, Jake faces numerous challenges including political pressure, threats from white supremacist groups, and his own personal demons. The narrative delves into the intense courtroom drama, focusing on the strategies and tactics employed by both the defense and prosecution. The book also exposes the deeply rooted racial tensions present in the South at the time of the story, and how they impact the community and the pursuit of justice.
