The trial came to a dramatic end when the defendant threatened revenge against the jurors if they convicted him. Despite his threats, they found him guilty, and he was sentenced to life in prison.

Long before his
name became synonymous with the modern legal thriller, he was working 60-70
hours a week at a small Southaven, Mississippi, law practice, squeezing in time
before going to the office and during courtroom recesses to work on his
hobby—writing his first novel.
Since first
publishing „A Time to Kill“ in 1988, Grisham has written one novel a year (his
other books are „The Firm“, „The Pelican Brief“, „The Client“, „The Chamber“, „The
Rainmaker“, „The Runaway Jury“ etc. and all of them have become international
bestsellers. There are currently over 300 million John Grisham books in print
worldwide, which have been translated into 40 languages. Nine of his novels
have been turned into films.
