In the movie, To Kill a Mockingbird, Gregory Peck did an outstanding job as the defense attorney.
If you don't have time to read the book, get hold of the movie version. Highly recommend.

It's about race, prejudice, hatred, innocence (and the loss of it), compassion, courage, understanding, childhood and adulthood.
