The feud, which will end on the busy streets of Natchez, Mississippi, in 1881, quickly turns violent. Between 1879 and 1883, a very young George W. Guice will be shot by his nemesis, retaliate against his adversary, face a murder trial, lose an appeal to the Mississippi Supreme Court, and surrender himself to the state penitentiary to serve a life sentence. Facing an unknown future, George Guice senses renewed life after receiving a pardon in 1886. With his newfound freedom, Guice gradually attempts to, once again, live an ordinary life. Before long, he finds work as a Jackson, Mississippi, police officer. For a time, it appears as if Guice has truly put his past behind him; however, that changes on January 14, 1893. On this day, Officers George Walker Guice and Percy Clifton Hines are directed to arrest two vagrants. While in the performance of their duty, a violent shoot-out occurs within earshot of city hall. When the gunfire stops, two men lay on the ground, fatally wounded. The following months produce two trials, an appeal to the Mississippi Supreme Court, and an unexpected twist for two young defendants. Based on true events, this story follows the short adult life of George Walker Guice and shows that Southern justice often has a way of working itself out.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →An inspirational book for those who want to use their legal interests, skills and talents to bring about greater social justice. Gil Venable began his "practice" of law in Jackson, Mississippi, summer 1965, as a first-year Pitt Law School student assisting now famous civil rights lawyers in support of groups including SNCC, COFO, and the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party in the fight for basic rights for blacks. This memoir frankly recounts that exhilarating, gritty, sometimes harrowing experience and how it led Gil into a lifelong dedication to equal justice, environmental and other public interest law in his native Pittsburgh, Boston and Phoenix. The book is a primer on the legal tools of social justice and how they are applied. Gil traces his own values and activism back through those of his Ohio ancestors since the days of the Underground Railroad. Finally, this book is a joyful remembrance of great mentors such as Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., Marian Wright Edelman, and ACLU leader Tom Kerr who inspired him at every stage.
