Atticus Finch, played by Gregory Peck (who won an Academy Award for his performance), is a principled lawyer who defends Tom Robinson, a black man accused of raping a white woman. The 1962 movie is based on Harper Lee‘s 1960 book, also titled To Kill a Mockingbird, which won a Pulitzer Prize.
The narrative takes place in a small Alabama town in the 1930s and is told from the point of view of Atticus Finch‘s daughter, Scout.
In this scene from the contentious trial in To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus Finch exposes the town‘s racial divide and its deep seated prejudice. Bob Ewell accuses Tom Robinson of beating and raping his daughter, Mayella. When Bob Ewell takes the stand, Atticus Finch instructs him to write down his name. It is revealed that Ewell is left-handed and therefore more likely to leave bruises on the right side of his daughter‘s face. But in the eyes of an all-white jury, Tom Robinson is guilty because he is black.
Although Atticus Finch loses the case, he succeeds in exposing the prejudice of the people who populate the town. The trial also made the book and film central in the discussion of 20th century racial tension in the South.

There is no shortage of buzz around the actress Lohan. Whether facing sentencing for violating her parole and allegedly lying to authorities, or speculating about what movie role – if any – she’ll land next, Lohan remains as public of a figure as one can be.
In this clip, Lohan is on trial for violating the terms of her probation after two previous arrests for drunk driving in 2007. The video shows the actress crying on her lawyer‘s shoulder after the judge accuses the actress of lying to the court and law enforcement about probation violations.
In one example, Lohan missed a mandatory court appearance and told the judge her passport was stolen. But photos of the actress "partying" at the Cannes Film Festival were found. The judge handed down a sentence for Lindsay Lohan to serve 90 days in jail and 90 days in rehab, which was a steeper penalty than prosecutors were seeking.
Warren Jeffs was the leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (FLDS Church), a religious organization that practices polygamy. Jeffs went on trial in 2007 after being charged with two felony counts of being an accomplice to rape. The charges stem from his arrangement and conducting of a marriage ceremony of an unwilling 14-year-old girl, Elissa Wall, and her 19-year-old first cousin, Allen Steed.
This video shows the reading of the verdict at the Warren Jeffs trial. Jeffs received a sentence of 10 years to life for two counts of rape as an accomplice, but the conviction was overturned by the Utah Supreme Court, which decided jurors were given improper instructions. According to the Supreme Court, the judge failed to inform the jury that Jeffs could only be found guilty if he intended for Steed to have nonconsensual sex with Wall when he performed the marriage.
Authorities raided Jeffs‘ Yearning for Zion Ranch in Eldorado, Texas, and removed 400 children suspected of being sexually abused. The FLDS has 10,000 members in Utah and Arizona and openly practices polygamy. Warren Jeffs was extradited to Texas, where he will face additional charges of bigamy and sexual assault related to his marriage to a 12-year-old girl.
