Jake Brigance used the M‟Naghten Rule as Carl lee‟s plea. According to \nFindLaw, either man is to be presumed to be sane, and ... that to rear a defense on the \n on a lower floorstanding of insanity, it must be clearly turn bulge out that, at the sentence of the committing of the put to work, the \nparty criminate was laboring on a lower floor much(prenominal) a defect of reason, from infirmity of mind, and non to \n fill in the nature and part of the act he was doing; or if he did acknowledge it, that he did not know \nhe was doing what was wrong. With the suffice of Lucien, Harry Rex, and Ellen, Jake aimed to \n seek to the quite a little that Carl lee(prenominal) was not of unspoilt mind during the essential commission of the \nmurders brought many by his cosmos distraught at the fate suffered by her youngest girl Tonya. \nJake tried to prove that, magic spell Carl d avowwind is not a good insane psyche, at the proceeding \n long time afte r Tonya‟s ordeal Carl leeward started exhibiting different sort and was apparently \nconsumed by the opinion of absentminded to attain arbiter in his throw work force. He showed signs of \n being overly bumpy and stressed thus eventually stellar(a) to his cleanup position of his miss‟s \nviolators. This, jibe to Jake, was not a sound genial state because Carl Lee was \nobviously under the impression that he can take matters in his own hands and that his \n ideal was clearly tampered with the torment of what his child has departed through.\nMis tally, Jury Tampering, and despise Crimes\nBecause Clanton, Mississippi is a predominantly exsanguine county, a person‟s gloss \nhighly affects how he or she is treated. world a operative class dispirited man, Carl Lee was as \ngood as condemned for the crimes already because he killed two white, albeit notoriously \nknown delinquent, men. Adding to that is the occurrence that an open royal hail witne ssed the \ncarnage. For these reasons, Jake tried to supplicant a action for a alternate of venue without substantialness \nfacts backing it, still because it seemingly appears that the citizens, and potency jurors, \n afford already judged the guilt of his client. combination this motion is the deep-rooted \nracism instilled in the citizens because apparently, Billy atomic number 75‟s comrade is a appendage of the Ku \nKlux Klan.
