True Crime
A powerful true story about the potential for mercy to redeem us, and a clarion call to fix our broken system of justiceβfrom one of the most brilliant and influential lawyers of our time Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and 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 didnβt commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination, and legal brinksmanshipβand transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever. Just Mercy is at once an unforgettable account of an idealistic, gifted young lawyerβs coming of age, a moving window into the lives of those he has defended, and an inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of true justice.
