Overview
Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption is a legal memoir by Bryan Stevenson. It is set in the 1980s and early 1990s and follows Stevenson’s legal career as an advocate for Alabama prisoners who have been condemned to death, especially prisoners who have been wrongly condemned and unjustly treated by the legal system. Stevenson focuses on the case of Walter McMillian, a black man who was falsely convicted of the murder of Ronda Morrison and placed on death row. Through an investigation and painstaking appeals process, Stevenson ultimately succeeds in exposing the testimony against McMillian as false, wrongly obtained through police coercion and perjury. As a result, McMillan’s sentence is overturned and he is cleared of all charges.
Though the bulk of his memoir is dedicated to McMillian’s case, Stevenson also describes other death row cases and people he has represented, including children, mentally ill people, abused women, and others. All of these stories highlight the gross inequities of the US criminal justice system, especially the predominance of racial discrimination, the corruption and abuse of police and correctional officers, and the disturbing ease with which people are falsely convicted and executed.
