About this deal

Not really a courtroom drama or legal thriller; instead this novel focuses on the media in a small town in Mississippi. Hank Hooten - another lawyer at the Padgitt trial. He is rumoured to have had a relationship with Rhoda Kassellaw before her death. He later goes insane, killing two jurors and Danny Padgitt. The smell of the whiskey and his sweat nauseated her, but she was too frightened to throw up. It might anger him, cause him to use the knife. As she started to accept the horror of the moment, she began to think. Keep it quiet. Don’t wake up the kids. And what will he do with the knife when he’s finished?

An architect, father, and the single initial “not guilty” vote. The 8th Juror argues that the men should take their time in coming to a verdict. He slowly and painstakingly examines the evidence and testimony to decide if there are grounds for a conviction. The 8th Juror is patient and compassionate, and he often humanizes the defendant in the face of others’ rash, biased judgements. In the ensuing years, as the Times becomes highly successful and steadily increases circulation, Willie keeps an eye on Padgitt. He campaigns against the extremely favorable conditions which his family procured for him in prison. However, Padgitt is paroled after nine years. Immediately after his return to Clanton, two of the former jurors are killed by a sniper rifle and fear spreads through the county. Callie's children and neighbors organize to guard her day and night. The Padgitt family offers alibis as to Danny's whereabouts during the murders. This is taken with great skepticism, but with no tangible proof to the contrary, the authorities hesitate to take action. Instead, this is the tale of a dying weekly newspaper and the brash young Northern-educated Memphis journalist who buys it, turns it around, and during the process sinks roots into the tiny community of Clanton, Mississipi.

The Transformation of John Grisham Books Into Movies: Grisham has experienced much success with the silver screen. More than eight of the novels he has written have been adapted into films and performed well at the box office. This includes The Firm, which became a film in 1993, and was later made into a TV series. For his great writing, Grisham has been honored with several awards, including the Distinguished Author Award named after Peggy V. Helmerich, the Galaxy British Book lifetime achievement award, the legal fiction award from Harper Lee, and the USC Scripter award. Nevertheless, Grisham’s writing has not solely focused on crafting novels for adult audiences. He has also written a series of legal thrillers geared at children and pre-teens. Inside John Grisham Novels: The moral of this story is that success (even becoming a millionaire) and reaching the top of your game/career won't satisfy you. There is a restlessness that is within each one of us that keeps us striving towards certain goals. When we fulfill one goal, we look for another and another and another....it's the same with material possessions. We are always searching for the next best thing. The truth is that these things won't ever satisfy us because only God can bring us contentment here on earth and it doesn't come through worldly success or material wealth. For the most part the news is pretty mundane to say the least but when a young widow with two children is brutally raped and murdered the paper and the community goes into overdrive.

The novel is divided into three parts. The first covers the trial of Danny Padgitt, the second focuses on Willie adjusting to life in Clanton, and the third includes the main events, the murder of the jurors. When it becomes obvious that the local newspaper will soon be going into receivership a young colt journalist, who is an employee of the papers, decided that he would make an offer to buy the paper.Willie uses his newspaper to crusade -- aptly -- because it's the right thing to do. Also because he knows how to make it lucrative. Grisham's storytelling genius reminds us that when it comes to legal drama, the master is in a league of his own.’ – Daily Record For the death penalty to be give all jurors have to agree, it takes just one juror to disagree to prevent the death penalty from being carried out.
