Just Mercy (Movie Tie-In Edition) – Audiobook Online

Just Mercy (Movie Tie-In Edition) is a good book by author Bryan Stevenson.
A powerful story of mercy’s potential to redeem us and a clear call to repair our broken justice system.

Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to protecting the most desperate and needy: the poor, the wrongly convicted, women and young people. I am trapped in the furthest reaches of our criminal justice system. In his earliest cases were those of Walter McMillian, a young man who died from a notorious murder he insisted he did not commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of intrigue, political intrigue, and legal ingenuity – and forever changed his understanding of mercy and justice.

Just Mercy is at once an unforgettable coming-of-age story of an idealistic, talented young lawyer, a moving window into the lives of the people he has defended, and an argument. inspiring compassion in the pursuit of true justice.

This book tells the story of Bryan Stevenson’s efforts to help those on death row in the United States, especially those in the state of Alabama where he founded the Equal Justice Initiative. The story of Walter McMillian, wrongly convicted of murder, who spent 6 years in prison before finally being freed thanks to Stevenson’s efforts. Issues surrounding the treatment of minors as adults in today’s U.S. justice system, not subsidizing the mentally disabled, and through it all, continuing prejudice against with blacks and the poor built into the justice system.

I learned many things that I did not know – judges in many US states run for office and get elected, for example. This leads to the stiffest competition for criminals in terms of sentencing. And many things about American history – Stevenson convincingly suggests that there have been four historical periods in the United States, namely slavery, post-Reconstruction terror, Jim Crow era (disaggregation). institutionalized racism), and now an era of mass incarceration.

Stevenson says ‘we’re all broken’ in different ways. There are anecdotes about his own life – being stopped by the police for present reasons while in a car late at night near his home and having a gun pointed at him, followed by a search of his car. illegally, was mistaken by the judge for a criminal rather than a defense attorney because he was black. The worst may have passed with some Supreme Court victories, and some decline in the use of the death penalty in recent years.
