Circumstantial Evidence: Death, Life, And Justice In A Southern Town

I decided to read this book after seeing the Just Mercy movie. I haven't read that book yet, but it will be interesting to see how he laid everything out. Clearly the movie glossed over, embellished, and outright misrepresented some of the events surrounding this case. But in the end, it doesn't change the fact that an innocent man was convicted of murder and placed on death row, and if it were not for Bryan Stevenson, he would have died in the electric chair. His life was pretty much ruined even so. Many people in the town could never accept that he did not commit this crime, even though he had zero motive, he had an alibi, and the so-called evidence that was used to convict him was so shady and ridiculous, it's just mind boggling that anyone could believe such a story.
The other truly sad and frustrating part of the case is that they finally figured out who actually committed this crime (99% positive) but could not bring enough evidence to convict that guy and couldn't get him to crack.
So much Injustice and so much underlying inherent racism that people don't even realize they have. The irony is it all took place in Monroeville, Alabama, home of Harper Lee and inspiration for To Kill a Mockingbird, of which they're all so proud to remind everyone.
