Conscience of the Court

I believe that the verdict in Laura Lee's trial is a just one. She committed no crime and defended the property that she was in charge of defending. Beasley had no right to be there, or to try and take her things. He was trying to steal her property by taking advantage of Laura Lee. I believe that this is a hopeful verdict that shows a foreshadowing of a more just legal system. One that made it's decisions based on law and not on race. It is a good verdict that actually followed the law and did not base their decision on the fact that a black women beat up a white man, but a woman was defending the property from theft.
