3. FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
3.1 Problem Arising in Law Enforcement
Problem arising in law enforcement consists of unfair treatment, insufficient evidence and unprofessional administration. The problem must be addressed immediatelly in order to create law
enforcement are beneficial to society. a.
The Unfair Treatment
The first problem arising in law enforcement is unfair treatment. The rights of others should be protected affectively and professionally by the state. The resistance unfair to the victim is the
problem arising in law enforcement. “Judges sometimes ignored them in court and ruled against them for no sound
legal reason. Other lawyers were often rude and unprofessional. The county bar association did not invite them to join. Clerks sometimes lost their filings. All-white
juries did not believe them. Worst of all, clients did not hire them. Black clients. No white client would hire a black lawyer in the 1970s, in the South anyway, and
this still hasn’t changed much. But Copeland Reed nearly went under in its infancy because black folks thought the white lawyers were better. Hard work and
a commitment to professio nalism changed this, but slowly” TR:10.
Grisham wants to convey that the problem in law enforcement is injustice. The law enforcement should be fair and balance, but many people buy the law enforcement by the money in
now days. There are corruptions in law enforcement and it is only concerned with self interest. Law enforcement works for the money not for justice. In this case, Grisham tells us about the judge who
ignores a justice. Mostly, lawyers defend people who have much money than defending the truth. This is an injustice for the people who do not know about the law and minority communities that
do not have money. Law enforcement should work fairly and wisely.
“During my prosecution, it was painful watching their good names get dragged through the mud, and it was so senseless. When I was on the ropes, the lead FBI

agent informed me that Mr. Copeland and Mr. Reed were going to be indicted if I didn’t plead guilty and cooperate with the U.S. Attorney. I thought it was a bluff,
but I had no way of knowing for sure. I told him to go to hell” TR:12.
The main character in this novel is also forced to plead guilty, even though he is not. He tells a lie in order to save his friends. In this case the main character figures showed that law
enforcement gets problematic. This is the unfair treatment that the author explains through the plot of the novel. Law enforcement should be fair, but in fact law enforcement threatened the main
character to plead guilty. This is an example of injustice in law enforcement.
b. Insufficient Evidence
