Circumstantial Evidence: Death, Life, and Justice in a Southern Town Book was written by Pete Earley, way back in 1995 before the 2020 protests. Apparently, it was written in the "early days of eBooks" and the editing is atrocious. There are extra spaces throughout and some noticeable misspellings. However, the book was well-researched and presents a balanced view of the murder mysteries. The other book that discusses the case is by Bryan Stevenson, the actual lawyer in the case, and is titled Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption. ( ) 3995. Circumstantial Evidence: Death, Life, and Justice in a Southern town, by Pete Earley (read 6 March 2005) This is a 1995 book telling of a murder of a young white girl, Ronda Morrison, in Monroeville, Ala. (the town where Harper Lee lived and which calls itself the town in which To Kill a Mockingbird (read by me with unforgettable admiration on May 8, 1961) is laid. Johnny D. McMillian is charged and this tells of the trial and the subsequent most interesting events, related in accurate and engrossing style. In accounts of trials such as this I always like to read the actual opinions of the case, here in McMillian v. State, 594 So. 2d 1253 (Ala. App. 1991) and 616 So. 2d (1993)--as well as McMillian v. Monroe County, 520 U.S. 781 (1997)--so easy to do in this computer age. A most worth reading book. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Now Earley shows us a different, even more intimate view of justice--and injustice--American-style. In Monroeville, Alabama, in the fall of 1986, a pretty junior college student was found murdered in the back of the dry cleaning shop where she worked. Several months later, Walter "Johnny D." McMillian, a black man with no criminal record, was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death for the crime. As McMillian sat in his cell on Alabama's death row, a young black lawyer named Bryan Stevenson took up his own investigation into the murder of Ronda Morrison. Finding a trial tainted by procedural mistakes, conflicting eyewitness accounts, and outright perjury, he was determined to see McMillian go free--even if it took the most unconventional means...
