A Time to Kill Blog
- Under the law Carly Lee Haley’s actions were not justified, because at the time he killed those two white men they posed no threat to him. I can also see where he was coming from when he murdered those two white men after they brutally rapped his 10 year old daughter, and I think just about every other father can. There is nothing a parent loves more than their kids, and when someone does something as sick as those men did to his kid I can see why he would kill them. So I think that his actions were justified personally, but that’s not how the courts will see it.
- Carl Lee Haley killed those two white men because they brutally beat, and rapped the one thing he loves most in his life his daughter. He knew that because of the time period and the area he was living in, a small town in Mississippi, that those men were most likely going to get off scot free, and he wanted them to pay for their actions, as would any other father going through that.
- Under the law Carl Lee Haley should have done some jail time, even though he had a valid reason for killing those men.
- No the scales of “Justice” are not balanced where they take place, because it took place in a small town in Mississippi, which is notorious for having Klu Klux Klan members, and racial discrimination.
- To the people in that town of that time period honestly I think it does matter whether Tanya Haley is black or white, because if she was white there would be no question that the two men who committed that crime would be in jail, or dead.
- No because there were KKK members in the law enforcement team that arrested him so that makes a difference. Also his lawyer had to fight for some basic rights that any other white male would have gotten. The jury was also in my eyes not qualified, because they were all white, and that almost ruined the whole trail for him, because the jury wanted to convict him of being guilty before the trial was over and that would have never happened if it was a white person on trial.
