In 1970 one of Mississippi s more colorful weekly
newspapers The Ford County Times went bankrupt. To the
surprise and dismay of many ownership was assumed by a
23-year-old college dropout named Willie Traynor. The
future of the paper looked grim until a young mother was
brutally raped and murdered by a member of the notorious
Padgitt family. Willie Traynor reported all the gruesome
details and his newspaper began to prosper. The murderer
Danny Padgitt was tried before a packed courthouse in
Clanton Mississippi. The trial came to a startling and
dramatic end when the defendant threatened revenge against
the jurors if they convicted him. Nevertheless they found
him guilty and he was sentenced to life in prison. But in
Mississippi in 1970 life didnt necessarily mean life and
nine years later Danny Padgitt managed to get himself
paroled. He returned to Ford County and the retribution
began.
