Just Mercy -- a movie that many here should watch!...

[MDPopescu]

A true-story, "Just Mercy" follows young lawyer Bryan Stevenson (Jordan) and his history-making battle for justice. After graduating from Harvard, Bryan might have had his pick of lucrative jobs. Instead, he heads to Alabama to defend those wrongly condemned. One of his first, and most incendiary, cases is that of Walter McMillian (Foxx,) who, in 1987, was sentenced to die for the notorious murder of an 18-year-old girl, despite a preponderance of evidence proving his innocence and the fact that the only testimony against him came from a criminal with a motive to lie.

... this is from a 1992 Ed Bradley's "60 Minutes" show on CBS News...

Prior to DNA, a lot of cases were suspect. Many people were proven wrongfully convicted. Many people were put to death wrongfully.

One study estimated that up to 10,000 people may be wrongfully convicted of serious crimes each year. A 2014 study estimated that 4.1% of inmates awaiting execution on death row in the United States are innocent, and that at least 340 innocent people may have been executed since 1973.

All those who dedicate their professional lives exonerating the wrongfully incarcerated get the Hero Stamp of Approval from me.

There's room for more than 1 hero. In fact, it's essential.

I take it Mr Stevenson didn't have a say in who portrayed him
