This book is written not only for them but also for anyone dedicated to justice, public safety and honest representative government; and who is repulsed by the current massive mockery of these widely accepted objectives. Based on his training in American Government and Politics, Lester Jackson contends that capital punishment is a POLITICAL rather than a LEGAL issue. Politics involves conflicts between groups, interests and values. The death penalty clash is between victims and their vicious tormentors. The latter include not only convicted barbaric criminals but also their champions in and out of government. Equal Justice for Victims describes evil and injustice. Good innocent human beings experience protracted excruciating suffering at the hands of not merely premeditated murderers, maimers and rapists, but also the people who love them, defend them and protect them, needlessly enabling additional savage crimes. The defenders, protectors and enablers are at least as evil as those to whom they are so devoted.
Protectors, protectors and refugees are as rude as they are so dedicated. These include the Justice of the United States Supreme Court, who (a) express deep concern for the most humiliating and totally contempt for the most civilized people; (B) To save the guilty former rapists and murderers by lying about the facts and the law; (C) Do not care about extra-judicial crimes and victims who they intentionally create; And (d) to the benefit of the culprits, to the innocent subject to inexplicable, uneven and unnecessary suffering. Because such judges know, or should know what they actually do, they are symbols of pure evil. Judges of today's Supreme Court have declared war on public safety. To do this, they have declared war on people's rights for the constitutional powers of dishonestly and customarily elected representatives. Describes justice and evil for the victims. Good innocent people not only victims of pre-killers, maids and rapists, but also those who love them, defend them and protect them, to enable unnecessary crimes to succeed for.
"This book's title is derived from two shocking facts, one largely unknown: (1) the disgracefully scandalous mistreatment of victims of violent crime; and (2) the ghastly gap in the value placed on the lives of victims vs. barbaric criminals. ... EJV has three parts. The first describes the death penalty's conflicting political combatants. The secod explains why one side has prevailed over the other. The final and most important part explains how to compel this country's rulers to adopt a policy that values the lives of victims of savagery at least as highly as those of savages. The solution can only be political. It must be made clear that the United States Supreme Court decides the most controversial cases on the basis of politics rather than law. The most activist justices are politicians with same low integrity associated with politicians. Placing a high value on decent victims will first require a political campaign to educate the public about the Supreme Court's fraudulent illegitimacy."--Back cover.
First published a decade ago, No Equal Justice is the seminal work on race- and class-based double standards in criminal justice. Hailed as a ''shocking and necessary book'' by The Economist, it has become the standard reference point for anyone trying to understand the fundamental inequalities in the American legal system. The book, written by constitutional law scholar and civil liberties advocate David Cole, was named the best nonfiction book of 1999 by the Boston Book Review and the best book on an issue of national policy by the American Political Science Association. No Equal Justice examines subjects ranging from police behavior and jury selection to sentencing, and argues that our system does not merely fail to live up to the promise of equality, but actively requires double standards to operate. Such disparities, Cole argues, allow the privileged to enjoy constitutional protections from police power without paying the costs associated with extending those protections across the board to minorities and the poor. For this new, tenth-anniversary paperback edition, Cole has completely updated and revised the book, reflecting the substantial changes and developments that have occurred since first publication.
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING MICHAEL B. JORDAN AND JAMIE FOXX • A powerful true story about the potential for mercy to redeem us, and a clarion call to fix our broken system of justice—from one of the most brilliant and influential lawyers of our time. “[Bryan Stevenson’s] dedication to fighting for justice and equality has inspired me and many others and made a lasting impact on our country.”—John Legend NAMED ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL BOOKS OF THE DECADE BY CNN • Named One of the Best Books of the Year by The New York Times • The Washington Post • The Boston Globe • The Seattle Times • Esquire • Time Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian, a young man who was sentenced to die for a notorious murder he insisted he didn’t commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination, and legal brinksmanship—and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever. Just Mercy is at once an unforgettable account of an idealistic, gifted young lawyer’s coming of age, a moving window into the lives of those he has defended, and an inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of true justice.

The words «equal justice under law» are literally etched in stone and prominently displayed above the entrance to the United States Supreme Court. These words stand as an enduring proclamation of a paramount objective of the courts and the Constitution. Although judges are the guardians of the Constitution's principles, this book examines how their decisions both advance and impede the ideal of equal justice. By analyzing interpretations of «equal protection» and other rights affecting discrimination and disadvantages linked to race, gender, and social status, Smith, DeJong, and Burrow illustrate how constitutional law often facilitates the denial of equal justice for people drawn into the criminal justice system.
A piercing, provocative true story that is also a commentary on our system of justice, centered around a wrongful murder conviction that bares the dark side of the American soul. This book highlights a case that was front page news--featured on "60 Minutes", in The New York Times in 1993.
