Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Ghosts of Mississippi is a 1996 film based on the true story of the trial(s) of Byron De La Beckwith for the 1963 assassination of Civil Rights leader Medgar Evers.The film was directed by Rob Reiner and stars Alec Baldwin as prosecuting attorney Bobby DeLaughter, James Woods as Byron De La Beckwith, and Whoopi Goldberg as Merlie Evers. There are also memorable early performances by William H. Macy and Margo Martindale.Filming also took place almost immediately after De La Beckwith was found guilty in 1994 and was filmed in Jackson at many of the actual locations. Byron De La Beckwith himself was sitting in jail just a few blocks away while filming was taking place.Despite all of this, the film was not a success. | |

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Byron is shown getting fighting mad at reporters for putting lights in his elderly wife’s face and is later shown playfully fooling around with her as he waits for the jury to deliberate. He also plays patty cake with his granddaughter as they do. | |
