Mr. Stevenson became interested in legal work he wanted to help people that were having hard situations in their lives.

He discovered that the law school offered a one month internship on social justice and was able to help others in the prison system.

Henry was a guy that was going to be executed in prison. Bryan was at first nervous and scared to meet Henry because he was thinking that Henry was going to be mean with him. He got to know Henry and decided to help him.

"I'm not going to have an execution date anytime in the next year?"

"No,sir.They said it would be at least a year before you get an execution date."

I like this part because he didn't want his family to go to visit him because he didn't know when then going to execute him,but when Bryan told him that we was not executed he was so happy to that he going to told his family to come visit him.

He grew up in foster care and he had been horribly burned in a fire also his childhood was not easy for him.

Ralph was associated with Karen ,his relationship with Myers brought Karen to rock bottom, together they became involved in dealing drugs.

Ronda was found shot dead and Vickie Pittman died too ,but Vickie was poor and Ronda was rich . Vickie it was less valuable because she was poor and Myers admitted that he was involved in the both murders.

He didn't know who Walter was,so he went to ask who Walter was ,so he could know about him.

Two inmate trusties lifted and tilted the heavy cage,while three officers yanked Joe's chair with a violent pull that finally dislodged it. Joe was convicted as an adult and sentenced to life without people. In Evan's case right after his trial and filed a motion to reduce his sentence,even thought it was the mandatory punishment for someone convicted of capital murder who was to young to be executed.

The case was traumatizing and surprising they didn't deserve all this.They were just a kids who went through a lot to survive and in the end,they ended up in prison for a crime they ended up in prison for a crime they didn't commit.Especially Trina was sexually abused and got pregnant she was separated from her son,her life was already difficult before she and her sister would eat from the garbage cans,no food to eat,and wander in the streets she was traumatized by the boy's death who was sleeping when the house caught on fire,she was nonfunctional and got raped after that. Ian was a kid when he attempted to rob a couple in Tampa,he was sentenced to life imprisonment,and he was sent to an adult prison the Apalachee one of the toughest prisons,where he was put in solitary confinement for 18 years. Antonio was abused by his father who would hit him with a belt,hand fist,and extension cords causing bruises and cuts, his mom ignored him his brother Jose was shot in the head while running to his aid and killed.Antonio suffered internal injuries,later on,he was accused of being a dangerous gang member and he was sentenced to life imprisonment. They were all teenagers when that happens, they didn't wait until they were 18 or more older to give them an adult trial.

Walter exoneration.

Bryan Stevenson helped get Walter to get his freedom back after 6 years in prison.Stevenson calls District Attorney Chapman and says he is going to file a motion to dismiss all charges against Walter. His wife was worried about him and didn't want to return home to people talking about the case The community and racism that is going on might affect him,so she wanted him to stay in Montgomery.The state join in their motion to dismiss charges against Walter. Give what ABI said he wouldn't try and prosecute Walter again.The hearing, the judge quickly grants the motion,and Walter is free. I feel like they should support him after being in jail because he spent 6 years in prison for a crime that he didn't do.

Debbie cook noticed that Marsha Colby was no longer pregnant but did not have a baby,which stirred her interest.Cook involved the police in hopes that they would investigate the "absent" infant. The trial court sentenced her to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole,and a short while later,she found her self shackled in a prison van heading to the Julia Tutwiler Prison for Women. The murder of child by a parents is horrific and is usually complicated by serious mental illness.
