Corrected entry: Sandra Bullock first arrives in the film by driving into town prior to the trial of two rapists. After her arrival, the victim's father Samuel L Jackson (Carl Lee) kills the rapists in open court. When Matthew McConnaughey later asks Bullock why she's in town, she says "Carl Lee", yet at the time of her arrival she can't have known who Carl Lee was as he hadn't committed any crime.

Audio problem: When "Mickey Mouse" rescues Roark, he says something like "It's gonna be all right," yet his mouth is closed and not moving at all.
Lucien Wilbanks: If you win this case, justice will prevail, and if you lose, justice will also prevail. Now that is a strange case.
Trivia: In the scene when Jake is sitting on the frame of his burnt house talking to Harry Rex, in one shot, the crotch of his pants has a large hole. He obviously has no underwear on, and you can see his "anatomy". Viewed on VHS.

Suggested correction: That hole is on the top of his inside leg.
Question: When Carl Lee Hailey visited Jake to tell him that he was thinking about killing those 2 men, wouldn't he have been required to report that to law enforcement? It's not considered attorney/client privilege when you tell your lawyer that you are planning to kill someone. And then he went home and told his wife about it, so wouldn't that also make her an accessory?
Answer: I'm not from America but couldn't you just say the conversation didn't take place? Maybe they didn't want to say anything due to being parents themselves and thinking they would do the same?

Correction: She's referring to why she's staying in town, not why she came into town in the first place.
