Remember that John Grisham book and movie?

The shooting scene in the movie was filmed at the old courthouse in Canton, MS and involved a rape and assault victim’s father shooting and killing the accused perpetrators in the courthouse.

This week in a weirdly similar situation, a man named Wells walked up to a criminal defendant named Brown outside of the new Canton courthouse and shot him dead. Speculation is that Wells shot Brown in retaliation for Brown’s previous shooting and wounding of Wells’ mother, who was supposed to testify against Brown.
