The second trial was held six months later, in another rural area
four hours from Greenville. This area too was full o f Klan
members and people sympathetic to them. The jury again was allwhite
and non-Jewish. They heard the same stories, the same lies.
This trial did have something new. Marvin Kramer was there,
sitting in his wheelchair next to the front row. He watched the
jury for three days. Most of them could not bear to look at him.
However, one young woman glanced at Marvin repeatedly —
Sharon Culpepper was the mother o f twin boys. As Marvin
looked back at her, his eyes begged her for justice.
