Our justice system is made up of humans, and humans are imperfect. And yet I soooooo want to trust that judges and jurors and lawyers will do their very best every time to ensure the right verdict and the right sentence for every situation. Of course, the world doesn't work that way, and there is no better example of how fallible we are as humans (and especially as white people in a white world) than this book. 
 Please, let's all do better. Please, let's all start to see every side of the situation, and view each other as humans and not as stereotypes. Please, let's all pay more attention to those around us, and speak up for those who do not have the chance to speak for themselves. Just please. 
 (Side note, the superpower of this book is the care and love in which Bryan Stevenson tells the stories of the people he has represented and how little he focuses on himself as the righter-of-wrongs.)
