Why did Carl Lee apologize to the police officer? Was this a significant event in the story? Explain your reasoning. .
Carl Lee apologized to the police officer because he didn't mean to harm him and was incredibly sorry. They had known each other since they were kids and Carl Lee would have never wished harm upon the police officer. Carl Lee's apology was important to his court case because when the police officer had to testify, he was on Carl Lee's side and had forgiven him for the accident.and racism. Everybody lives for a purpose, Jake Brigance, the lawyer, did the most inspiring and bravest thing anyone could ever do. He found a way to transcend their fundamental differences and work together for the same cause. equal justice. I would definitely agree to what he did, because, as a lawyer, it is my soul purpose to "save the world one case at a time". The task is also challenging and is an eye opener and I could touch the lives of people and give them hope that justice is colorblind and as I have mentioned earlier, it is equal. Given the situation, what the jury did was right because if the girl raped was white living in a black community, what would they do? They would do exactly what Carl Lee Hailey did. He was found not guilty by reason of temporary insanity because anybody would have gone crazy if that happened to him or her. The judge was so biased and so racist. All he did was for his benefit, only thinking for his own good. He wasn't considering the circumstances on what led to the incident and keeps on insisting on his principles and beliefs. He was portraying that justice is not equal and is racist which should not be the case. If justice can be defined as society's recognition and protection of people's dignity and rights then it's not justice because he's just focusing on his beliefs and not recognizing people's dignity and rights. Ellen Roarke being the brilliant law student has to device a way not to let a man die.
