Just Mercy: "Wrongful Convictions":
Finally, I've come to believe that the true
measure of our commitment to justice, the
character of our society, our commitment to the
rule of law, fairness, and equality cannot be
measured by how we treat the rich, the powerful,
the privileged, and the respected among us. The
true measure of our character is how we treat the
poor, the disfavored, the accused, the
incarcerated, and the condemned.
-Just Mercy,
Bryan Stevenson
