Part 2/9:
On the night of September 29, 1913, a horrific crime occurred that would alter the course of many lives. John Lewis, a Confederate veteran, defended his home from intruders, only to be mercilessly murdered by the Griffin brothers after they allegedly violated a woman present in the home. The courtroom scenes reveal a struggle for justice, where the prosecution, centered around a woman named Anna Davis, aims to hold the Griffin brothers accountable. Davis, having endured brutal treatment herself, finds the courage to testify, a pivotal act that leads to the execution of the Grifin brothers by electrocution. As Judge Ramage delivers the verdict, he underscores the grim reality that hangs over the community—a past steeped in violence and racial strife.
