Murder in Coweta County is a 1983 American made-for-television drama film starring Johnny Cash and Andy Griffith.

[3] Wilson Turner, a poor white tenant sharecropper, was dismissed by Wallace, even though he was given permission to do the liquor run.

He was forced to leave his home, with his wife and child, and was unable to harvest his crops on his farm.

[3] Turner was inexplicably released from jail due to a 'lack of evidence' by Sheriff Hardy Collier.

[3] Sheriff Potts then pursues Wallace and his gang to obtain justice for Turner,[3] but needs to gather enough evidence to prove his case.
