plain Evil
...f Georgia and had the largest law practice around. Harry receives the word of the shooting. He tries to think of a way to get out of it. But Seagraves has defended him before and will again. Paris Trout tells the story that took place in the house. Paris told Harry told that the two females had guns. But in Paris's voice he could hear the lies. Harry knew what terrible things Paris was capable of but it was Harry's job to defend him. Later Harry went to the hospital to visit Rosie but found out that she had died. Since Harry had to defend Paris, he felt as though he had killed the little girl. He said,"There was a moment today when I felt a remorse as strong as if I had shot her myself." Harry also carried the burden of knowing that things were not as they should be between Hanna and Paris Trout. It just so happens that during the mess of the trial, Harry showed up to the Trout's home. What he found was a disaster. He saw that Hanna was mistreated and disrespected often by Paris but there was nothing he could do. Harry sees the evil in Paris but he has to respect the that it is his job to defend Paris, murderer or not.

She spoke up once again "I will not tolerate this." Hanna watched his hand close around the bottle of water on the desk. She believed that maybe he was going to let her go, but instead used the water bottle to rape her. Afterwards, Hanna pulled her skirt up and waited on a customer up front. Her fear of Paris took her over. But Hanna realized that things were different. After she payed her respects to Rosie she knew that she did not want anything to do with what Paris had done. Paris became angry when Hanna told him to get out. Paris told her that no one was moving out and hit her across the face. Hanna found out that the biggest mistake she ever did was marrying Paris. Paris Trout is the cause of Rosie's death, the pain in Hanna's life and the confusion of Harry Seagraves. He is far more evil than the people in Cotton Point see. Paris did not see it as wrong to shoot a girl. Harry Seagraves mentioned that he was told that Paris said they shot two colored people. Paris shrugged like he did not care and replied,"What they gone do, arrest me for collecting legal debts?'' He did not give a care in the world about that human life. It meant nothing. At his trial, Paris was convicted of second degree murd...
