Level 1 It should be mentioned that commissioned Cinemascores like this in limited releases arent the ‘official Cinemascore that well see upon wide release. If the movie gets expanded large enough well see Cinemascore do an independent poll, and thats the one that gets published on the site (and used as a reference. There was a similar situation with Fighting With our Family this year, where they did a private Cinemascore polling on limited release (giving it an A) and then on wide release it they did another poll and it officially got an A- from the general audience. level 2 A more recent (and more drastic) situation is Uncut Gems which did an A- in limited release and a C+ in wide release. level 1 Deadline has more details, I think: Warner Bros. s social justice drama Just Mercy starring Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Foxx and Brie Larson opened to 81K at four NY and LA sites scoring A+ CinemaScores among all major demos including females (63% and males (37. and 25+ 89% and under 25 (11. Cinema scores from a 4 theater Christmas limited release come with an extra grain of salt imo, but obviously good news for it. level 1 From 4 theatres, but. I didnt know such small sample sizes were covered. Either way, this is good news for the film when it expands. Also great showcase of talent for the director, Destin Daniel Cretton, who is directing Shang-Chi. level 2 Such small sample sizes arent covered normally. The studio has to specifically pay to commission Cinemascore for their polling on a limited release like this, which is different then a wide release/expansion where Cinemascore does it and publishes the results completely independently. level 2 I think limited release polls (and probably the later wide polls) are commissioned and it's up to the studio to release the score. As per their site, Cinemascore only independently polled movies opening at 1, 500+ theaters and only those scores are posted on their site. level 2 Also great showcase of talent for the director, Destin Daniel Cretton, who is directing Shang-Chi. the critical reception of the movie is pretty much “its fine” level 1 i loved it when i saw it back in October. im really hard to make cry. but that movie made me cry level 1 Marvel Studios 6 points 1 month ago edited 1 month ago level 2 What are you even trying to say? level 1 Not too surprising. Audience at TIFF I saw it with ate it up. My two cents is that it's an important movie with horrific and crowdpleasing elements, with some of Destin Daniel Cretton's best work, but some of the darker undertones of the real story and book (by the brilliant Bryan Stevenson) have been softened. It's not bad by any means, but the story of the EJI deserved a bit more IMHO. level 1 Four theaters, commissioned. level 1 Comment deleted by user 1 month ago ( 1 child) level 2 It's not official Cinemascore, and won't be published on their website. It's commissioned by the studio for studio own purposes. level 1 Movie looks super dry and boring Oscar bait. Normies will probably love it though.

The book made me weep, I can't wait to see the movie. Exactly. It may be a straightforward film with a simplistic "racism is bad" message, but that actually works well with audiences. It's well made with popular actors (Michael B Jordan, Jamie Foxx, Brie Larson) and reviews are decent, so it could very well win the People's Choice Award at TIFF, which often goes to crowdpleasers. And unlike Green Book, it won't face the criticism of focusing on the white character and sidelining the African American character (it's more like Hidden Figures in that regard of focusing on the African American charcaters. And presumably the lead actor, director, and writer won't be caught saying the n word or being exposed for past poor behavior. This could do quite well and end up with a handful of Oscar nominations, because most people can get on board with it.

Black people in a small, Southern town are targeted by the law based on how they look, and movie clearly points out how wrong that is. It also depicts what an uphill battle it is to change hearts and minds; this is about one small victory in a bigger fight.

Though larger than life, Atticus exists only in fiction. Bryan Stevenson, however, is very much alive and doing God's work fighting for the poor, the oppressed, the voiceless, the vulnerable, the outcast, and those with no hope. Just Mercy is his inspiring and powerful story. Re-read. This time via audio. Bryan Stevenson is in the Netflix documentary the 13th. I just watched it. I highly recommend it! I'm late to the party so there is not much for me to say about this book that has not already been said. What I will say is that This is a Very Important Book! If you have not read it you must. It should be required reading for high school. I had no idea the injustice that occurred in this country when it came to death row. I live in a state in which the death penalty... UPDATE. I just stepped out of the theater seeing this film. Its absolutely extraordinary… Incredible… I cant recommend it highly enough. I hope it wins best picture of the year… Best actors… Best everything.

Capital murder requires an intent to kill, and there was a persuasive... I often think that my grandparents and parents lived in interesting times. They saw so many things come about in their day. Theirs were exciting times. Women won the right to vote, slaves were freed, and medical advancements were plenty. It was the time of The Industrial Revolution, electricity, the telephone, planes, trains, and automobiles so to speak. I tend to downplay the important breakthroughs of my life and times, Television, Computers, a second industrial revolution of Technology... 4 stars! What a powerful and inspiring book! Please note, if this was a review of the author, Bryan Stevenson's, career and life story, my rating would be 5+ stars. Words cannot adequately describe how I feel about this selfless man who has spent his career fighting for justice for those who need it most. My rating of 4 stars is simply my review of this book (which is obviously what this site is about. My impression of and respect for Bryan Stevenson as an individual is extremely high and would... Well, I suspect it'll drag you kicking and screaming from your happy place, but I defy you to read Bryan Stevenson's remarkable Just Mercy and not come away affected in some way. If you are at all interested in racial and/or sociopolitical injustice, specifically as it applies to our country's (and more specifically, my adoptive home state, Alabama's) seriously flawed justice and penal systems, this is the book for you. Absolutely haunting, heartbreaking, and unforgettable. “Mercy is just when it is rooted in hopefulness and freely given. ” Let me be honest. I would never have picked this book to read on my own. But it was my church book club selection. This is a powerful, scary book. A young black lawyer takes on death penalty appeal cases in Alabama. And he does this because Alabama didnt provide public defenders for those appeal cases. The book delves into all the aspects of the legal system. It also speaks poignantly on the effects of the larger community when... With all the recent protests across the nation, sparked by the high-profile deaths of several unarmed black men, this is an incredibly timely read. This book is an account of the author, Bryan Stevenson, and his life calling. Stevenson first began helping death row prisoners, mostly black, who had had no legal defense of any kind. He discovered there were thousands who were completely innocent. This led him to start an organization called the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) which is still going... Highly recommended reading for anyone interested in the U. S. justice system (or curious about why some people dont feel they receive equal treatment under the law. In Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption, Bryan Stevenson presents what could be dry statistics or empty outrages as stories about real people. However, these stories arent just about people, but the towns and cities where horrible crimes were committed (sparking cries for justice) and the flawed mechanisms we have for... We never read anything in a vacuum. Every book is filtered through the lens of experience, history and daily life. It may have been a coincidence that I read Just Mercy only days after a horrific mass shooting at a historic black church in Charleston, South Carolina, but it didn't feel like chance. Having such fresh evidence of racism and violence in the South made the events discussed in this book all the more real. Bryan Stevenson is a lawyer in Alabama who works to defend the poor and the... There is nothing I can write to do justice to this exceptional book. Really, the only thing to say is "Read it. But here are a few thoughts: Just Mercy is both horrifying and awe inspiring. I listened to the audio of Just Mercy as read by the author, Bryan Stevenson. I listened to it in 40 minute daily increments as I walked to work or for exercise. Each time I had to turn the audio off, I found it hard to disengage from everything Stevenson has to say about his work as the founder of the... Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption "I…believe that in many parts of this country, and certainly in many parts of this globe, that the opposite of poverty is not wealth… I actually think, in too many places, the opposite of poverty is justice… Ultimately, you judge the character of a society, not by how they treat their rich and the powerful and the privileged, but by how they treat the poor, the condemned, the incarcerated. Because it's in that nexus that we actually begin to... Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson is a 2014 Spiegel & Grau publication. This book came to my attention from a couple of Goodreads friends. Their amazing reviews convinced me this book was one I should, and needed, to read. “We have a choice. We can embrace our humanness, which means embracing our broken natures and the compassion that remains our best hope of healing. Or we can deny our brokenness, forswear compassion, and, as a result, deny our own humanity” This man. Bryan Stevenson. Are there... The Force of Forked Lightning Author and civil rights lawyer Bryan Stevenson has some hard bark on him: for dozens of years now, traveling into the backwater towns of Alabama (and other places in the South) to defend and save the lives of inmates, many of whom were railroaded onto death row. He centers his soul-sparking memoir on the especially egregious case of Walter McMillian in Monroe County, AL, interspersed with brief sketches of examples nationwide proving particular types of injustices in... Just Mercy was heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time. I felt a wide range of emotions while reading it, including sadness, anger, and frustration. I knew our system is broken but I wasn't aware to what extent. It was infuriating to read how far behind the times some states are, most notably, Alabama. Before reading this book, I was fairly confident in my views re: the death penalty, and punishments by imprisonment in general. This book changed my views on some things. Bryan Stevenson is a... Excellent! Especially for readers who care about social justice, inequality in the justice system or abolishing the death penalty. It is already abstractly known that minorities, poor people, mentally disabled and un-parented children are disproportionately represented in the criminal justice system and Bryan Stevenson gives us an up-close and personal look at many of these people. Judges, police, prosecutors, jailers, politicians, etc. can be very obtuse and uncaring about them and are given... This book will make your blood boil. While I would have preferred some more nuance in this work (the author cherry picks the most outrageous examples of injustice and the most compelling inmates to argue his cause, understandably so, the majority of us don't possess the amount of empathy Bryan has for people, even the most despicable ones) what Stevenson has done throughout his career to make our world a little bit less awful and a little bit more just, is no less than heroic. His work is hard... Harrowing, but brilliantly done. "Capital punishment means them without the capital get the punishment. I discovered this book, Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption, on display in my local public library and there was something about the title which implored me to pick it up. I had never heard the name Bryan Stevenson before picking up this book and I wasn't aware of the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice he had started to defend the most vulnerable and desperate in our society. Now, Bryan Stevenson is someone... An absolute must-read book for anyone interested in the integrity of the justice system in the U. This book will make you cry, seethe, and grab everyone you know by their lapels and say to them, Do you know this is happenening. How can this be. The author is an attorney and founder of the Equal Justice Initiative. The book highlights several cases of people wrongly imprisoned, and sentenced to death, for crimes they clearly did not commit. In other cases, while crimes were committed... “… the death penalty is not about whether people deserve to die for the crimes they commit. The real question of capital punishment in this country is, Do we deserve to kill? ” Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption chronicles the founding, growth, and work of the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI. EJI is “a private, nonprofit that provides legal representation to indigent defendants and prisoners who have been denied fair and just treatment in the legal system. We litigate on behalf of... Content Warning: This is a dark review of a very dark subject. Reader discretion is advised. Joe Sullivan was thirteen years old when he was arrested. Mentally disabled, neglected and abused, the product of a chaotic home, Joe could barely read at a first grade level and grew up mostly on the streets. On May 4, 1989, with two older boys, he broke into an empty house in Pensacola, Florida. Later, the elderly owner of the house was brutally raped. The woman never saw the man who raped her. When the... “Why do we want to kill all the broken people? ”-Bryan Stevenson “I dont do what I do because I have to, because Ive been trained to. I do what I do because Im broken too. You cannot defend condemned people without being broken. Bryan Stevenson Eye-opening, heart-wrenching nonfiction account that tore me apart. The above quotes sum it up. There's nothing else to say. We are all broken people. This is a great read to pair with the fictional book The Enchanted. This may need to be a reread... 5 For the book and for the author in recognition of his incredible work on behalf of those wrongly convicted to death or life in prison caught up in a system of blind justice and no hope. Read by the author, this was compelling from start to finish and deserving of all the recognition and awards. I had no idea, really. All emotions possible will hit the reader; consciousness will be raised. The film version has an expected U. release in January 2020 but read it first... Overall, the lessons to be learned in this book are shattering. Prisons in the United States are an apparatus for stigmatizing and exiling those who we were once told would be rehabilitated. Then there are the innocent ones who have been tried, found guilty and sentenced to death. Bryan Stevenson writes of his transformation from fear to courage and commitment as a young lawyer to come to their defense. He writes of the legacy of racism and other constructs of power and privilege that continue... There is definitely something amiss with my view of crime. I read crime mysteries and police procedurals for pleasure, but reading about crime from the other side—innocence and guilt or suspects and law or the possibility that the criminal justice system can be wrong—makes me anxious and fretful. I dont like crime. It seems like weakness. What I have come to see is that crime can occur on either side of a prosecution or conviction: the accused can be guilty of weakness or legal counsel can be... This is a must read book for anyone interested in and/or concerned about the American system of justice. I always intended to write a full review of this book but instead have decided to provide a link to a review written by a Goodreads friend. I hope you will read this. This is a book which deserves to be read at a time when issues of justice are on every thinking person's mind. Justice must be served "justly" or our system simply will not work. Our system... When I first encountered Bryan Stevenson, I was in the middle of tearing pages out of Smithsonian Magazine. Before any reading material made it to my students at the state juvenile correctional facility, I first had to remove any questionable content. Smithsonian was generally safe, but I was quickly drawn into a story profiling Stevenson and Why Mass Incarceration Defines Us As a Society. After finishing the story myself, I made sure it found its way to as many of my students as possible. I... This is just an awesome story of a lawyer who made it his lifes work to fight for the underdog and do all he can to get them justice. He started a non-profit legal office in Alabama to help people in need of serious legal help like those facing execution, the wrongly convicted, teens sentenced to die in prison and others. He spends long hours working, searching for funding, visiting prisoners, and working on cases. After you get so far in the book, you can see why its won several awards, and...

Level 1 Kind of harsh on Atticus Finch considering all that stuff from "Lee's second novel" was really just an early manuscript she never intended to publish. level 2 Lol it's even worse than that. Go Set A Watchmen is the first draft of To Kill a Mockingbird. The only reason it go published is because Harper Lee's sister, Alice (who was Harper's caretaker and manager of the estate) died. Two months after that Lee's lawyer and agent 'discover' a second novel. Hell the fucking book isn't even consistent for a sequel. In Go Set a Watchmen, Atticus won Tom's case, which he lost in To Kill a Mockingbird. The only reason this book got published was for greed. Pure and simple. To expand on this the New York Times did a great piece on how her lawyer, Tonja Carter, got her claws into Lee after her sister passed. level 2 This is so infuriating... Of course Fitch was a racist. He was a Southern. The thing that made him awesome is he was able to separate that from his duty. level 1 No slight against the article I didnt read. But that headline is so obviously stupid it makes my eyes twitch. I know what theyre trying to say by saying it “shows Atticus Finch was fiction” but the phraseology is just flat out stupid and unintentionally condescending. Lets try this: ‘Just Mercy reminds us that Atticus Finch was fiction, but Bryan Stevenson is real. See, now it seems less like the article is calling everybody a bunch of morons who never took a 9th grade English class. level 2 I don't think the difference between 'shows' and 'reminds' is that large in this case. Surely it reminds you of that because it shows that that's true. level 2 How is using “shows” instead of “reminds”, when talking specifically about what a piece of art is presenting to the audience, stupid and condescending? If anything, “shows” makes fewer assumptions about the reader and what the reader knows. “Reminds” assumes that people already knew about what is being shown. (And can make the film itself seem redundant, despite the protagonist not being overly celebrated or well-known. “Shows” just says that this is what the film is putting on display for the audience, whether they already knew the subject matter or not. level 1 If you liked the movie, I highly reccomend reading the book. You get to hear everything from Bryan Stephensons perspective, with his voice, and that makes it all the more compelling. Personally I think the movie handled the Walter McMillan character really well, but I was quite honestly bored by Michael B. Jordan and Brie Larsons storyline. Their characters were not that dynamic and only changed in that they realized how messed up the reform system was level 2 Brie Larson and boring kind of go hand in hand these days. level 1 Just Mercy was fanatatic. I'm actually somewhat surprised it's not being talked about all that much. level 2 It's a really good movie, but I think it's too straightforward and modest to generate much chatter. level 2 Because it didn't have double it's production budget spent on marketing it level 1 Outstanding film. I went in expecting something by the numbers but was absolutely wrecked by this. I think Crenton is a modest director so the movie isn't as flashy to get attention as others in the race but it does an amazing job showing how fucked and racist our prison system is. Approaches it through some strong character beats but still has all the informative stuff you need walking out of the theater to want some change. level 1 Trust of the law? Did the author finish the story? level 1 It was an okay movie, if more than a bit silly. Cinematic junk food for the socially conscious. level 1 Just Mercy was one of the most poorly written movies I saw all year. It was full of trite and cliche dialogue, even for what is essentially a courtroom drama. Comparing it to a staple of American literature (Watchmen not withstanding) is laughable. On top of the terrible writing, the directing was blatantly racist. Not everyone in the Deep South is inherently racist (white or black) but you would never know it watching this garbage film. I'll give it to Jamie Foxx. He was pretty good. Michael B. Jordan and Brie Larson were meh, mostly because they were handcuffed by a shitty script and shitty direction. level 1 I think the problem is that there's so much honoring and memorial given to this work of complete fiction while this person who risked real violence and hatred, finally gets his story told in 2020. But then people would rather feel good than know the truth. level 2 I wouldn't go as far to say that the book is mediocre, but there are actual scenes in Just Mercy about the hypocrisy of how To Kill A Mockingbird is celebrated in the South. level 2 As a 9th grade teacher who has this book as a part of the curriculum every year. pretty much. I wouldn't say it's mediocre; it's a great coming of age story, and really great for showing symbolism, metaphor, etc. But it's definitely "problematic" as the kids say.

Just Mercy The true measure of our character is how we treat the poor, the disfavored, the accused, the incarcerated, and the condemned. In this quotation, Stevenson offers a distillation of his many years of legal advocacy and social justice work. Chief among his concerns is how quick people in positions of power are to judge vulnerable people. The message Stevenson would like readers to take away from his memoir is that compassion is required to counteract instinctive and ingrained prejudices. Capital punishment means 'them without the capital get the punishment. ' In this quote, Steve Bright, director of the Southern Prisoners Defense Committee, initiates Bryan Stevenson into the secret of the skewed American judicial system. At the time Stevenson is young and naive; Bright explains how, contrary to conventional wisdom, the system which leads to the state-mandated murder of Americans is not one driven primarily by issues of justice or the law, but rather economic inequality. The prisoners who the SPDC defends are criminalized due to a system that treats the poor and uneducated as lower-status human beings. But before I could say anything, Myers blurted out, I lied. Everything I said at McMillians trial was a lie. Ive lost a lot of sleep and have been in a lot of pain over this. I cant be quiet any longer. " In this passage, Stevenson and Michael O'Connor visit Ralph Myers in prison to discover, without any prompting on their parts, that Myers is ready to come clean about the lies he told at Walter's trial. Stevenson's heart pounds in response: Myers was the State's primary witness, meaning Stevenson can now get Walter off death row. This passage is significant because it marks the biggest breakthrough in Walter's case. But Walter's case also taught me something else: there is light within this darkness. After outlining the many injustices of the United States judicial system and Walter McMillian's wrongful conviction and sentencing on death row, Stevenson reminds the reader of the hope he has witnessed among horrific circumstances. Despite the darkness, the human spirit has shined out. Loose these chains. Loose these chains. After Walter's sentencing, he is brought back to death row. Because of his innocence, Walter had expected to be released. Now, on the way back, he realizes that the chains he wears feel tighter than they had on the way to the courthouse, and he asks the guards to loosen them. The guards refuse and Walter repeats his request, coming close to losing control of his usual calm demeanor. No, Attorney Stevenson, you didn't hear me. I said I'm here. During Walter's hearing, Stevenson encounters Mrs. Williams, an older woman who, on the second day of the hearing, is intimidated by a police dog in the courtroom. Stevenson learns she was traumatized by the police dogs set on her when marching for civil rights in the 1960s. On the third day, she proudly walks past the dog and announces her presence to the courtroom. Her announcement—I'm here—has a symbolic resonance: she is here despite every insidious force that has tried to keep her away and her spirit subjugated. Why do we want to kill all the broken people? What is wrong with us, that we think a thing like that can be right? In this passage, Stevenson is reflecting on the continued injustices of the American judicial system despite decades of effort to bring reforms. He questions the root of the problem that has precipitated such a cruel and unforgiving system, wondering what drives people to want to kill those who have been broken by poverty, abuse, and disability. Walter made me understand why we have to reform a system of criminal justice that continues to treat people better if they are rich and guilty than if they are poor and innocent. This quote is taken from Stevenson's recollection of the eulogy he delivered at Walter's funeral. The statement is significant because it sets out in simple language the clear lack of balance in the American judicial system. Rich people guilty of corporate crimes are presumed innocent and treated with impunity while people like Walter have their lives destroyed swiftly and cruelly. Increasingly, I was recognizing the importance of hopefulness in creating justice. In this passage, Stevenson reflects on his responsibility not only to Walter but to Walter's family, whose expectations he must keep reasonable while simultaneously inspiring them to remain hopeful. Without hope, people would not be empowered and energized to advocate for condemned people and try to create meaningful reforms. The closer we get to mass incarceration and extreme levels of punishment, the more I believe it's necessary to recognize that we all need mercy, we all need justice, and—perhaps—we all need some measure of unmerited grace. At the end of his introduction, Stevenson outlines the need for understanding and compassion. This quote is significant because Stevenson rejects an us-versus-them position and considers all people of understanding, even the people who could easily be written off as villains in the cases he presents. His desire to spread understanding extends even to the corrupt and bigoted people his project is pitted against.
Wow the way Mr. Stevenson talk. He is so true and right and beautiful. He is just brilliant. OMG. That was soooo hilarious when his son said that they sound like the three lil biggies... I even searched it up and they do and even tho Gabriel said that he searched it up I wanted to do it and see with my own two eyes. I saw this film tonight as a Screen Unseen at the Odeon Worcester, UK. I too don't understand it's low rating on this website. I was riveted and at times it was a hard watch because of the blatant injustice explored in it. The performances were first class and Michael B. Jordan has a stillness on camera, which is arresting and powerful. I cannot believe that this injustice happens and that this level of bigotry and racism escapes justice. Everyone who believes in justice for all, irrelevant of your race, social status and wealth should watch this film and I applaud the makers for bringing the story of this courageous lawyer to the big screen to highlight how these prejudices still exist in the home of the free.

Just Mercy is Bryan Stevenson s account of his decades-long career as a legal advocate for marginalized people who have been either falsely convicted or harshly sentenced. Though the book contains profiles of many different people, the central storyline is that of the relationship between Stevenson, the organization he founded (the Equal Justice Initiative, or EJI) and Walter McMillian, a black man wrongfully accused of murder and sentenced to death in Alabama in the late 1980s. Throughout the book, Stevenson provides historical context, as well as his own moral and philosophical reflections on the American criminal justice and prison systems. He ultimately argues that society should choose empathy and mercy over condemnation and punishment. Born to a poor black family in rural Delaware, Stevenson grew up questioning the racial and economic inequality that he witnessed in his community. The story of Stevensons career begins when, while attending Harvard Law School, he interns with the Southern Prisoners Defense Committee (SPDC. After meeting and befriending Henry, a death row inmate, Stevenson recognizes his passion for prison justice and for fighting against the death penalty. He moves to Atlanta to work for the SPDC, and he eventually relocates to Montgomery, Alabama to found EJI. In Alabama, Stevenson represents many death row inmates, though the book focuses on the case of Walter McMillian. A successful black businessman from a poor community in Monroeville, Walter lost his reputation after his affair with Karen Kelly, a white woman. At the same time, the murder of a beloved local white woman, Ronda Morrison, rattled the town. Ralph Myers, a mentally unstable white man involved in criminal activity with Karen Kelly, arbitrarily accused “Karens black boyfriend” of murdering Ronda. The openly racist local sheriff, with the help of the District Attorney and several investigators, pursued Walters conviction. Together, they suppressed evidence, bribed witnesses into false testimony, and forced Myers to testify even after he tried to recant. Walter was convicted of murder by Judge Robert E. Lee Key and sentenced to death, which left his wife Minnie and his five children on their own. While on death row, Walter becomes connected with EJI and Stevenson decides to take on the case. Over the course of a few years, Stevenson and his associates pursue a retrial, a direct appeal, and a postconviction appeal on Walters behalf. Walters family and the rural black community in Monroeville actively support him and collectively feel the suffering of his wrongful conviction and sentence. As Stevenson gets to know the community and uncovers new evidence in Walters case, he uncovers a web of racial discrimination, political corruption, and a long history of suffering. Eventually, a remorseful and reformed Myers contacts EJI and recants his testimony. EJI discovers proof of the bribery and illegal activity used by the State to secure Walters conviction. The deeper EJI gets, the angrier powerful officials and the white community become. EJI receives several bomb threats, but they persist. Following national media coverage of the case, new District Attorney Tom Chapman begins to doubt the integrity of the States conviction and he launches his own investigation. The new state investigation confirms EJIs claims that Walter is innocent. EJI ultimately motions for the state to drop all charges against Walter. The motion is approved and Walter is released after six years on death row. EJI helps Walter to reenter society. Despite his optimism, Walter isnt the same. He and his wife get separated, and he eventually develops anxiety and dementia related to trauma he experienced on death row. Walter and Stevenson remain friends until Walters death. At his funeral, Stevenson gives a speech about all the lessons Walter taught him about resilience, hope, dignity and forgiveness. Interspersed between segments of Walters story, Stevenson also tells the stories of many other individuals treated unfairly by the criminal justice system. EJI takes on the cases of several juveniles sentenced to life in prison for homicide and non-homicide crimes, including Trina Garrett, Antonio Núñez, Ian Manuel, Joe Sullivan, Evan Miller and Ashley Jones. Stevenson describes how each of these children suffered different forms of trauma, abuse, or neglect prior to their crimes. He also illustrates how easily juvenile offenders are abused within the prison system. He makes the case that juvenile offenders deserve special mercy and compassion given their backgrounds (which are often troubled) immature brain development, and capacity for change and redemption. EJI ultimately wins two landmark Supreme Court cases banning life sentences for juvenile offenders. Stevenson writes that EJI has represented low-income mothers falsely accused of murdering their children, such as Marsha Colbey. He illustrates how media sensationalism around “killer moms” has influenced the unreasonable criminalization of poor, drug-addicted and mentally ill mothers. He also argues that the criminal justice system is unfair toward the mentally ill and disabled. He illustrates his argument with the stories of Herbert Richardson and Jimmy Dill, two mentally ill men that EJI unsuccessfully represented during late stages of their cases. Stevenson tells the stories of both mens executions and the profound, heartbreaking impact that their deaths had on him. Throughout the book, Stevenson writes about the histories of different marginalized groups. He describes the racial history of the United States, from slavery through Reconstruction, post-Reconstruction, Jim Crow, the Civil Rights Movement, and the modern era. He argues that efforts to oppress and dominate black people have not ended, but have endured through new institutions and social practices. He argues that mass incarceration, which disproportionately affects poor people and minorities, is the latest incarnation of systemic racial and economic violence. Throughout the book, Stevenson describes his own journey by showing how the relationships he has built and cases he has fought have altered his understanding of kindness, hope, justice and mercy. The climax of the story occurs shortly after Walter is diagnosed with advancing dementia, on the night that Jimmy Dill is executed. Completely emotionally exhausted and overwhelmed by the persistence of suffering and injustice, Stevenson considers quitting. He remembers the words of Rosa Parks and Johnnie Carr, two veterans of civil rights whod befriended and encouraged him years ago. Rosa Parks told him his work would make him “tired, tired, tired” and Johnnie Carr explained that was why he had to be “brave, brave, brave. ” Stevenson goes home that night, determined to continue his work.
