A Lesson Before Dying

Day 1


The beginning of this story is very detailed and visual. In my opinion, Jefferson didn't deserve a death penalty. Like his attorney stated, he doesn't even know how to plan so how could he use a gun to kill Mr.Grope'? Jefferson's family doesn't deserve to deal with the death of him due to him being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I feel as though he shouldn't be given the death penalty, but time in jail would've been enough. But due to it being in this time and era, giving an African American, a male at that, time in a prison or jail was not an option to most whites.
