* The story Burt tells John to explain his view of black criminals may actually be a bit of forshadowing at John's innocence. He tells John that his family dog attacked his son out of nowhere, despite the dog being very loyal and loving overall, and that he did not question the reason why it happened, and simply put the dog down personally. However, it is mentioned that Burt did not see this happen, and judging by his son's age, he may have been too young to explain what occured. So really, the only evidence he had was the existence of the dog and his son's bitten face. Which is compelling evidence... but by this logic, so was the evidence that got John arrested and put on death row. It is also possible that the dog's attack was a result of Burt's son unintentionally abusing it, or, it was a completely different dog that did it, and the family dog was actually innocent. Either way, this connects well with the way John was so quickly villainized, and implies Burt assumed John was guilty because he believes black people are animals.

'Brutus and Howell' are one single person named BRUTUS HOWELL. Paul Edgecombe, however, is there alongside Brutus Howell, hence the edit to the correct info.

** In the book Dean Stanton dies only four months after John Coffey's execution when he is stabbed by another prisoner. This will make more sense upon watching the movie. Wild Bill manages to trick Percy, Terwilliger and Stanton by pretending to be doped. Had it not been for Brutus and Howell being there Stanton would have been killed. There are other scenes of Stanton that highlight how is he prone to making dangerous mistakes. Dean Stanton despite being one of the nicest characters is not really a good prison guard so it's no wonder that he would get killed without Howell or Brutus there to protect him.

Something I noticed watching green mile for the second time and reading the tropes page on it. New to editing so hopefully a more experienced editor can articulate this point in a more precise language. Apologises in advance if I butchered the format here.
