Abstract: What’s makes this story line so real is, that my family played real life story that is, dated from the 1920s and due to the factor of economics’ and being a African American family that comes from the Deep South our family truly do understand what the lead black family was going through.
What was rare and still very rare in the Deep South was the reason of murdering some person and the murder was just happens’ the same color of the skin! Luckily this murder just happens, not only a sex-crime but the same color of the skin. The murder takes place in 1970 where this young twenty –three year old person named Danny Padgitt rapes and murders this woman named Rhoda Kassellaw. The judge sentences Danny Padgitt to life in prison in the Mississippi State Penitentiary. There was two very big mistakes made in this story plot …show more content…
The local community could have been so wrong in thought the community in Canton Mississippi should have blamed three juror’s that by Danny Padgitt family to make sure that Danny Padgitt would be released. The evidence was so, overwhelming, and the witlessness that the Danny Padgitt family bought for the defendant trial was so weak basically the jury did not have any choice. Let’s just make a very different point of view of how very different the courtroom system treated Danny Padgitt and Donte Drumm. The two very different courtroom state systems were in Mississippi, and Texas. These two men were convicted of murder, in two very different states within the Deep South. One person just happens’ to be a son of a white rich person in the South who kill’s a white woman. While the other happens to be a poor African American whom just happens to be a high school basketball
