Guilt and Responsibility in Mississippi Burning
Agent Bird: [the mayor has hung himself]
I don't understand why he did it. He wasn't in on it. He wasn't even Klan.
Ward:
Mr. Bird, he was guilty. Anyone's guilty who lets these things happens and pretends like it isn't. No, he was guilty all right. Just as guilty as the fanatics who pulled the trigger. Maybe we all are.

Pursuing Justice in Federal Court
Ward:
The whole thing, huh? Bullet by bullet. I don't suppose you're interested in words like coercion, or hearsay, or duress. This is no good in court.
Anderson:
We're not in court, Mr. Ward. That's a state charge. These hayseeds will never prosecute.
