A Black Man's Justice

Going down a back road, carrying groceries for her mother, Tonya Hailey walked toward her home. All of a sudden she feels a sharp pain in the back of her head, falls to the ground unconscious, and is dragged to the back of a yellow pick-up truck. Hailey woke up with her hands tied to a tree, and two legs spread apart and tied to separate fence posts. She smelled beer and liquor on the two men who were tying her up. She cried for her daddy, but he could not be there for her. The two men take turns raping her, ignoring the fact that she is bleeding. When they have finished, they spit on her, they cuss her, and they urinate on her. Thinking they will get rid of her, they dump her in a near by river, hoping and believing she will drown. But she does not drown; she lives, and she is found.

This is a preview to the beginning of the book I read—A Time to Kill. This book is about a black girl who was raped by two white men. The white men are found guilty, but even so, the girl’s father, Carl Lee Hailey, kills them both.

During the trial, pranksters are constantly calling Brigance’s house. They call him a “nigger lover” and threaten him and his family. For the most part, Brigance does not take these people seriously.

Searching frantically all over the house outside, the police and Brigance find a bomb. They deactivate it and the house is saved. Brigance decided to send his wife and daughter, Hannah, to stay with Carla’s parents in North Carolina until the trial was over.

s closet and shoots them both. They die almost instantly.

When the county realizes that Brigance is getting help from another white girl, Rowark is also harassed. She is kidnapped from her car and taken to the deep woods. The kidnappers were the Ku Klux Klan, and they were going to kill her until an old member who did not believe in what the Klan was doing saved her. He took her back to Clanton County, where the trial was taken place. She was hospitalized and Brigance was on his own once again.

After this incident, Brigance finally buckled down and realized that he needed to take things more seriously. He found a companion to help him with the case—a smart graduate from Ole’ Miss named Ellen Rowark. She was anxious to help Brigance with the case and did not charge him a dime for any of the help she was going to give him.
