Someone so young and so innocent did not deserve this. These men .
were pitiable and so thoughtless that such an imprudent choice they made ruined not only .
the life of a young girl and her family, but also their own lives.
The father seeing his brittle and weak girl in the hospital decided that justice was not .
served. His one and only innocent little girl was beaten and kicked around like pieces of .
trash. Any father would want them dead with no questions asked. Even Ozzie feels the .
same way when stating, "He's wondering' if she's okay, physically. Is she gonna live, and .
if she does how badly is she hurt. Can she ever have kids?a
• ¬ Then he's wondering if .
she's okay mentally and emotionally and how will this affect her for the rest of her life. .
Thirdly he wants to kill the bastards." This is how any father would think. It can cause so .
much stress and anger that can lead into craziness. What I mean by craziness is such an .
innocent moral man drawn into darkness by two white men. No father can live normally .
again until those men get what they deserve. Through all this drama, Jake must prove to .
the jury that he's not guilty and he was insane. You might think Oh that's easy, it's pretty .
explainable that a father would lose his mind from all of this. But the issue is not whether .
he's crazy or not but whether he's black or white.
Which now brings us to discrimination. Jake put himself in the worst spot ever a white .
man defending a black man, who killed two white men. Back in those days blacks and .
whites kept separate and each race would help each other out in a time of need. .
Especially when it came down to whether you live or you get the gas chamber. For .
instance when --------- is telling Jake how to win, he states," Yeah, and one that would be .
half black" In order to win they say you need a jury that will be black, now since when .
did winning a case be possible by which color we choose.
