About this product
Product Information
A legendary lawyer and a legal scholar reveal the structural failures that undermine justice in our criminal courts "An urgently needed analysis of our collective failure to confront and overcome racial bias and bigotry, the abuse of power, and the multiple ways in which the death penalty's profound unfairness requires its abolition. You will discover Steve Bright's passion, brilliance, dedication, and tenacity when you read these pages."--from the foreword by Bryan Stevenson Glenn Ford, a Black man, spent thirty years on Louisiana's death row for a crime he did not commit. He was released in 2014--and given twenty dollars--when prosecutors admitted they did not have a case against him. Ford's trial was a travesty. One of his court-appointed lawyers specialized in oil and gas law and had never tried a case. The other had been out of law school for only two years. They had no funds for investigation or experts. The prosecution struck all the Black prospective jurors to get the all-white jury that sentenced Ford to death. In The Fear of Too Much Justice , legendary death penalty lawyer Stephen B. Bright and legal scholar James Kwak offer a heart-wrenching overview of how the criminal legal system fails to live up to the values of equality and justice. The book ranges from poor people squeezed for cash by private probation companies because of trivial violations to people executed in violation of the Constitution despite overwhelming evidence of intellectual disability or mental illness. They also show examples from around the country of places that are making progress toward justice. With a foreword by Bryan Stevenson, who worked for Bright at the Southern Center for Human Rights and credits him for "[breaking] down the issues with the death penalty simply but persuasively," The Fear of Too Much Justice offers a timely, trenchant, firsthand critique of our criminal courts and points the way toward a more just future.

Reviews
Praise for The Fear of Too Much Justice: "A passionate and eye-opening behind-the-scenes account of the world of criminal justice and the lives impacted by the system's injustices." --Booklist "[An] urgent call to action. . . . [The Fear of Too Much Justice] is an invaluable resource for advocates of criminal justice reform." --Publishers Weekly "No one has more experience with the racism that infects our legal system than Steve Bright, and no one has worked more relentlessly to expose and eliminate it. Read this book. It will inform and infuriate you in equal measure, and equip you to join the long struggle toward justice." --Thomas L. Dybdahl, author of When Innocence is Not Enough "For forty years Steve Bright has waged hand-to-hand legal combat to protect the poor and innocent, and to expose the truth behind capital punishment, wrongful convictions, corrupt prosecutors, incompetent judges, and all the other bad actors who have ruined our system." --John Grisham, bestselling author "The Fear of Too Much Justice is an elegant, meticulous, and inspiring book about the brutal reality of injustices in the American criminal justice system and changes that must be made to save individual lives and our collective humanity. With their searing analyses and palpable compassion, Steve Bright and James Kwak open our minds, touch our hearts, and move us forward." --Janet Dewart Bell, co-editor of Race, Rights, and Redemption and author of Lighting the Fires of Freedom "As the face of the Southern Center for Human Rights for more than three decades, iconic civil rights attorney Steve Bright has been waist-deep in the injustice of the criminal justice system since the 1970s. With co-author James Kwak, he powerfully catalogues the system's ills, and offers insightful remedies to help us overcome the fear of too much justice." --Marc Bookman, author of A Descending Spiral "Finally, a book that takes Justice Brennan's famous line to its logical conclusions, calling into question every aspect of the way that we criminalize and punish in the United States today. It will be an indispensable teaching tool, providing a holistic view of the problems with criminal courts and the criminal legal system, from top to bottom." --Jocelyn Simonson, professor of law and associate dean of research and scholarship, Brooklyn Law School, and author of Radical Acts of Justice "Steve Bright has long been one of our most passionate and sophisticated advocates for justice. In The Fear of Too Much Justice Bright and Kwak make a devastating case for the shameful state of justice in far too many of our courtrooms today." --Marc Mauer, former executive director of The Sentencing Project and co-author of The Meaning of Life, Praise for The Fear of Too Much Justice: "Bright has written a book that draws together insights gained from four decades at the coalface of US criminal justice. . . . [ The Fear of Too Much Justice ] chronicles the myriad ways poor defendants, disproportionately from Black and other minority communities, have the chips stacked against them." --The Guardian "A passionate and eye-opening behind-the-scenes account of the world of criminal justice and the lives impacted by the system's injustices." --Booklist "[An] urgent call to action. . . .
