What is this movie?

I need help remembering the name of a certain movie. It's about a lawyer who opens up an old case (20-30 year old case or so) in the murder of an African American man by what I believe to be a member or ex-member of the KKK. It may have been a made-for-TV movie, though it might have been a regular theatre-released movie too.

Sounds like "The Chamber". A movie based on John Grisham book.



Having survived the hatred and bigotry that was his Klansman grandfather's only legacy, young attorney Adam Hall seeks at the last minute to appeal the old man's death sentence for the murder of two small Jewish boys 30 years before. Only four weeks before Sam Cayhall is to be executed, Adam meets his grandfather for the first time in the Mississippi prison which has held him since the crime. The meeting is predictably tense when the educated, young Mr. "Hall" confronts his venom-spewing elder, Mr. "Cayhall," about the murders. The next day, headlines run proclaiming Adam the grandson who has come to the state to save his grandfather, the infamous Ku Klux Klan bomber. While the old man's life lies in the balance, Adam's motivation in fighting this battle becomes clear as the story unfolds. Not only does he fight for his grandfather, but perhaps for himself as well. He has come to heal the wounds of his own father's suicide, to mitigate the secret shame he has always felt for the genetic fluke which made this man his grandfather, and to bring closure -- one way or another -- to the suffering the old man seems to have brought to everyone he has ever known. But, would mercy soften his grandfather's heart?

Does it have anything to do with peaches? Lol. Or am I thinking of something else.
You may be talking about Ghosts of Missippi, a true story about slain cival rights activists Medgar Evers. It stared James woods as the man accused of killing him, Alec Baldwin as the Lawyer,and Whoopie Goldberg as Mrs. Evers. Hope that helped
Ghosts of Mississippi with Alec Baldwin and James Woods.
You may be thinking of the Medgar Evers movie called "Ghosts of Mississippi."



If so, it starred Whoopi Goldberg (as the wife of Medgar Evers) %26amp; Alec Baldwin as the lawyer who finally brought Byron De La Beckwith (played brilliantly by James Woods) to justice after many decades..
I think you may be referring to Ghosts of Mississippi, based on the true story of murder of Medger Evers. And the trial to convict the man who killed him, Bryon de la Beckwith. It starred Alec Baldwin as attorney Bobby De Laughters %26amp; Whoopi Goldberg as Evers widow, Myrlie.
