Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption Bryan Stevenson 2020

A powerful true story about the potential for mercy to redeem us, & a clarion call to fix our broken system of justice — from one of the most brilliant and influential lawyers of our time. “[Bryan Stevenson’s] dedication to fighting for justice & equality has inspired me & many others & made a lasting impact on our country.” — John Legend Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate & in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, & women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian, a young man who was sentenced to die for a notorious murder he insisted he didn’t commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination, & legal brinksmanship — & transformed his understanding of mercy & justice forever.
