"The Sun Does Shine: How I Found Life and Freedom on Death Row" by Anthony Ray Hinton

  • Cost

We will discuss The Sun Does Shine: How I Found Life and Freedom on Death Row by Anthony Ray Hinton.

Anthony Ray Hinton was poor and black when he was convicted of two murders he hadn't committed. For the next three decades he was trapped in solitary confinement in a tiny cell on death row, having to watch as - one by one - his fellow prisoners were taken past him to the execution room. Eventually his case was taken up by the award-winning lawyer, Bryan Stevenson, who managed to have him exonerated, though it took 15 years for this to happen. Since his release, other high-profile supporters have included Richard Branson, Mark Zuckerberg and Amal Clooney. . . . (goodreads.com)
