Браян Стівенсон ще на початку своєї юридичної кар’єри пересвідчився, що судова система часто карає невинно засуджених. Він обстоював інтереси скривджених дітей, неповнолітніх осіб, доводив безневинність тих, хто насправді не скоював злочину, і захищав інтереси злочинців, які намагалися спокутувати провину.

У книжці Стівенсон розповідає історії з власної юридичної практики, які змінять ваше уявлення про милосердя і справедливість. Усі вони показують, які жахливі наслідки спричинює викривлена система правосуддя. Такі проблеми в судочинстві, як змовництво, політичні махінації та правове протистояння, можуть спотворити державний механізм і суспільство загалом. І якщо ми потураємо несправедливому ставленню до інших, то стаємо співучасниками злочину. Книжка здатна пробудити в нас співчуття, що є надзвичайно важливим для встановлення реальної справедливості.

[a:Bryan Stevenson|4396806|Bryan Stevenson|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1416790038p2/4396806.jpg]'s memoir is a beautiful account of his work aiding condemned inmates on Alabama's death row, and a chilling illustration of all the work that is left to do to repair a corrupt and broken system of (in)justice and mass incarceration.  Would highly recommend.

As hard as this book was to read – it is, after all, a searing indictment of modern America's treatment of our Black citizens and our poor citizens – I am immensely grateful to have read it. Bryan Stevenson is a treasure – his passion for justice and commitment to those who have no means to defend themselves are an inspiration.

While the book is ostensibly about one man's wrongful conviction and time spent on death row before his exoneration, it's also a survey of the many flaws in today's criminal justice system in America. We are the only country in the developed world to sentence juveniles to life sentences (thanks to Stevenson's work, juveniles can no longer be sentenced to life without parole). We criminalize behavior that is more appropriate for the healthcare system or for aid programs. And we've created a cycle that repeats itself with each new …

Just Mercy is the saddest book I have ever read. It tells the true stories of an innocent man on the death row for 5 years, a traumatized girl who accidentally sets a house on fire and kills people sentenced a life in prison in which she is abused by prison guards, and many other horrific scenarios. Bryan Stevenson is one of the bravest people I can think of. He and his partners defend these people and many more. He continues to defend them even when he receives bomb threats, loses trials and has to watch his clients be executed, and has to present in front of disrespectful and unfair judges. Stevenson has succeeded many times as well. He has saved many innocent people from execution and ended life imprisonment for many teenagers that have mental disabilities and do not deserve their punishment.

Just Mercy has opened my eyes to …
