Bryan Stevenson’s primary focus as a lawyer is death penalty cases and fights to get wrongfully accused inmates off death row. We are introduced to Walter McMillan’s case where he is charged for a crime he did not commit. Despite hard evidence that would prove he’s innocent, because its coming from the black community, its disregarded by the court. He even had an all-white jury involved in his case. In fact, the most shocking part about this case is that Walter was placed on death row before his case went to trial, which is illegal.

There were even laws that increased the involvement of the victims’ families in trials and executions, which violates the defendant’s right to a “fair” trial because family involvement will only create bias against the
