starts off with a story that sounds like a modern retelling of To Kill A Mockingbird: A white woman has consensual sex with a black man. Later she becomes worried about what other people will think and accuses the black man of rape. He then undergoes a sham trial and is found guilty and punished. The big difference is that in To Kill A Mockingbird, they at least pretended to have due process giving the accused a lawyer and allowing him to confront his accuser. The modern version doesn't even have a pretence of due process.
