The Last Juror
In 1970, one of Mississippi’s more colorful weekly newspapers, The Ford County Times, went bankrupt. Many were surprised when the ownership was assumed by a 23 year-old college dropout Willie Traynor. Newspaper’s future looked grim until a young mother was brutally raped and murdered by a member of the notorious Padgitt family. Traynor reported all the gruesome details, and his newspaper began to prosper.
The murderer, Danny Padgitt, was tried before a packed courthouse in Clanton, Mississippi. The trial came to a startling and dramatic end when the defendant threatened revenge against the jurors if they convicted him. Nevertheless, they found him guilty, and he was sentenced to life in prison.
But in Mississippi in 1970, “life” didn’t necessarily mean “life,” and nine years later Danny Padgitt managed to get himself paroled. He returned to Ford County, and the retribution began.

I’d like to know what were the mistakes that John talks in the last page of THE LAST JUROR.
Thank you
i’m trying to find out if there is a movie based on the novel The Last Juror by John Grisham, and how can I get it?
No, there is not, unfortunately.
Will there be a movie coming out based on this novel?
You never know. A few years in an interview Grisham said he has some doubts whether it will appeal to the moviemakers but at least personally he can see “The Last Juror” becoming a movie.
You can read the full interview here.
