Themes
Be careful of who you trust
This is a theme for The Last Juror because the story line is filled with lies and false hopes. Innocent people are murdered; guilty people escape the rule of the law. Willie can trust few people after the Danny Padgitt case.
Do not make assumptions
This is a theme for The Last Juror because Willie finds himself in some uncomfortable and potentially dangerous situations when he makes assumptions about people’s personalities and habits.
