Man Fatally Shot Outside Courthouse, Suspect 'A Good Guy,' Girlfriend Says - Huffington Post
Brown was in a small courtyard outside the Madison County Courthouse with his lawyer when he was shot, District Attorney Michael Guest said. Canton is the seat of Madison County, just north of Jackson. It's a historic antebellum town with about 13,000 people and is known for its Christmas light festival on the town square. Canton also is the home of a Nissan assembly plant that employs 6,000 people. The 1996 movie "A Time to Kill," based on John Grisham's novel, was filmed in part at the old Madison County courthouse. That courthouse and movie set are on the Canton town square, a few blocks from the new courthouse - the site of Monday's shooting. Source: www.huffingtonpost.com
