Implied by her lovely nickname, Screamer was Neely’s “hot to trot” girlfriend, and through her promiscuity she is interpreted as a bitter, sad woman in her older years (Grisham 97). Screamer’s counterpart, Cameron, was Neely’s first love with their relationship ending in a whirl of betrayal and shame. Each woman was affected by Neely in their relationships and the different perspectives they had on life.

It’s also possible to question how much is sensationalism (Berardinelli 1996). In many courtroom drams there is much that is typically…
