About The Last Juror by John Grisham
In 1970, college dropout Willie Traynor takes ownership of the struggling Ford County Times, a weekly newspaper in Clanton, Mississippi. Its fortunes change when a young mother is raped and murdered and Danny Padgitt, a member of the notorious Padgitt family, is arrested. Traynor’s coverage of the case brings new life to the paper.
At Padgitt’s trial, he threatens the jurors with revenge if they convict him. They find him guilty, but his life sentence does not keep him in prison for good: nine years later, he is paroled and returns to Ford County. This legal thriller will suit readers interested in crime, courtroom proceedings, and the consequences of a murder case for a newspaper and the people involved.
