there was a case also, a willie mcgee case, where he was charged with raping a white woman. he was tried in a matter of hours with little defense. they -- no physical evidence, and it was so obvious he was railroaded. the jury very quickly found him guilty. he was to be executed, and then this civil rights congress took on his case, fought for six years but, ultimately, he was executed. but these things were happening and together sort of jones and forest, one of those cases they kept retrying it, one of those willie mcgee cases was tried in forest county, and he was found guilty again. on no evidence, i mean, there's no evidence at all. so i think that's important in terms of place and longevity. also when you're talking about a lot of these, like, confederate symbols and so forth, forest county's named after nathan bedford forest who was a member of the confederacy as well as the first imperial wizard of the ku klux klan. and that name of that county -- actually, forest county was originally part of perry county, seceded and that's when they took on the name. the confedera
