William Wharton
Paul’s wife is a kind, thoughtful woman who supports Paul in all his moments of difficulty. She proves brave and compassionate when visiting her friend Melinda Moores, who is clearly suffering from the severe effects of a brain tumor. When Janice discovers Paul’s plan to help Melinda Moores, she encourages Paul to do whatever it takes to save her, even if it is a risky endeavor. She demonstrates her commitment to justice and racial equality, giving in to rage and frustration when she discovers that Coffey is innocent, but that nothing can be done to save him. She dies in a bus accident which Paul survives.
