Lee has gone to college, taken up law, dropped out of law school 6 weeks short of graduating, moved to NYC, lost her mother to cancer only 1 day after diagnosis, her 30-year-old brother to a brain aneurysm, and her father sold the house where she grew up. We know how her story goes with Mockingbird still to come, but what a crucible she's going through.

We've covered the murder victim, and the defense attorney, and the trial (a spectacle for sure), now we're moving on to learn background about Nelle Harper Lee and how this was to be a long-awaited follow-up to Mockingbird.

Lawyer Big Tom goes from defending pastor Willie to defending the man who shot him in front of 300 witnesses. Should be an interesting trial. Oh, and the defense? Insanity!

Oh the Radney campaign and the threats he received as a southern delegate supporting a Kennedy and later a lieutenant governor candidate supporting integration all sound like things that ARE happening (still) today. The bigoted racist playbook seems not to have changed all that much in 50 or 60 years.
