The book addresses issues of race and justice in several ways. First, it shows the influence of racial bias and prejudice on the jury selection, the trial proceedings, and the verdict. The book portrays the challenges and dilemmas faced by the lawyers and the jurors, who have to balance their personal feelings, their ethical duties, and the legal facts. Second, it explores the impact of corporate power and corruption on the justice system, and how they affect the lives and rights of the victims and the defendants. The book exposes the hidden agendas and motives of some of the parties involved, and how they manipulate the evidence and the witnesses. Third, it raises questions about the meaning and purpose of justice, and whether it can be achieved in a complex and imperfect world. The book challenges the readers to think about what is fair and right, and what is the role of the law and the courts in delivering justice. The book also offers a surprising twist at the end, that reveals a different perspective on the case and its outcome.

The challenges faced by the lawyers in juggling with their personal emotions, ethical facts and the legal facts was interesting to read in this book. The jury's racial bias adds on to the story's complexity.

I was most interested in the young attorney who was called upon to work for the defendants. He felt that he might have been selected because of his race. He made a powerful observation about crying when he saw the photo of the little girl in his coffin, and wondering if he could walk into a courtroom and represent the corporation.
But, he did what he felt was right. The evidence fell in favor of the tire company, especially when bribery reared up. I was most shocked when the jury did not accept the $50,000 each to vote in favor of the plaintiffs.
The older, white attorney, the senior partner in the law firm who pulled in the young black attorney, proved that he did it because the young attorney was smart. Not because of his race. I felt much better in the end about the outcome of the trial, and the outcome for the young attorney.
