In Bryan Stevenson's Just Mercy, the quotations from Chapters 1-6 expose the unfairness within the criminal justice system. The criminal justice system is designed to protect society and ensure fairness, but it often falls short of its intended purpose. In Just Mercy, Bryan Stevenson provides a poignant exploration of the system's failings and its impact on marginalized individuals. Through a careful analysis of three selected quotations from Chapters 1-6, this essay will argue that these quotes shed light on the necessity for meaningful reform within the criminal justice system. One of the central issues raised in Just Mercy is the pervasive racial bias and discrimination within the criminal justice system. Stevenson exposes this unfair treatment, evident in the case of Walter McMillian, an innocent black man sentenced to death.

Stevenson recounts the story of Charlie, a mentally ill man with limited resources, who eventually ends up on death row. The following quote encapsulates the bleak reality of Charlie's situation: "Poor people who couldn't afford their defense were assigned lawyers who were overworked, underpaid, or lacked the experience to effectively ch
