Although she was murdered brutally, Danny Padgitt is accused of the crime. Shortly after he starts working as an editor, Willie learns about Rhoda Kassellaw’s death. The Last Juror is his seventeenth novel and is about Willie Traynor, who buys the newspaper that he works for so that he can run it himself. His first book was A Time to Kill, and it’s about a lawyer who defends two African Americans who killed the men who raped their daughter. Lacy knows it is not for her to investigate murders, but reluctantly agrees to sniff around and if suitably proved, to hand it over to the cops.1-Page Summary of The Last Juror Overall Summary Through dogged persistence, Jeri found similarities in her father’s murder with 5 other similar unsolved murders – with the same signature and a common connection somewhere to him. Judge Banick has a list of people who have slighted him, ever, and after stalking them for decades, he is killing them one by one! According to Jerry’s theory, it started with Jeri’s father, a retired Law professor, who was strangled to death, and the case was never solved.
JOHN GRISHAM WITNESS TO A TRIAL SUMMARY SERIES
Jeri’s preposterous sounding charge is not backed up by proof but a series of compelling similarities. Though a loner, his court performance is as it should be, and even socially, he’s seen at the right places.
JOHN GRISHAM WITNESS TO A TRIAL SUMMARY SERIAL
At a coffee shop, Margie (real name Jeri Burke) presents a fantastical story of a sitting Circuit Judge in Pensacola, Florida, who is a serial killer! According to Jeri, Judge Ross Banick is a respected Judge, who on the surface is like any other. Lacy is skeptical but intrigued and reluctantly agrees to meet with Margie. Neither of them feels sure of what lies ahead, and are kind of feeling their way ahead in the darkness.Īt this juncture, Lacy’s life gets a boost when a woman who calls herself Margie (admittedly an alias) contacts her for a confidential consultation regarding a complaint against a sitting Judge. In her personal life, her boyfriend Allie, who is an agent with the FBI, is at a crossroads of sorts. Her personal case of compensation from the Mob which caused the accident is stagnating and ever her interest in prolonging her career at BJC is dwindling.
Lacy is recovering from the tragic accident at the end of The Whistler, in which she lost her co-investigator from BJC, Hugo Hatch. The BJC is not in great shape due to constant budget cuts and an apathetic Director who has one foot out of the door. In The Whistler, it was a corrupt Judge who was benefitting from a mob-operated casino on Indian reservation land. The employees of BJC are not cops, but investigators, who, depending on the merit of the case, can involve Law Enforcement.
There’s even a 0.5 in the series – Witness to a Trial! The BJC investigates complaints against serving Judges – malpractice, bias, corruption, etc. Lacy Stoltz and the fictional Board on Judicial Conduct (BJC), Florida are back with the next edition. Well, the master of legal thrillers is back in what is being touted as The Whistler Part 2 (following on from the success of The Whistler – 2016). My Rating – 4 out of 5 Plot Summary (Storyline) – The Judge’s List
