A legendary lawyer and a legal scholar reveal the structural
failures that undermine justice in our criminal courts “An
urgently needed analysis of our collective failure to confront and
overcome racial bias and bigotry, the abuse of power, and the
multiple ways in which the death penalty’s profound unfairness
requires its abolition. You will discover Steve Bright’s passion,
brilliance, dedication, and tenacity when you read these pages.”
—from the foreword by Bryan Stevenson Glenn Ford, a Black man,
spent thirty years on Louisiana’s death row for a crime he did
not commit. He was released in 2014—and given twenty
dollars—when prosecutors admitted they did not have a case
against him. Ford’s trial was a travesty. One of his
court-appointed lawyers specialized in oil and gas law and had
never tried a case. The other had been out of law school for only
two years. They had no funds for investigation or experts. The
prosecution struck all the Black prospective jurors to get the
all-white jury that sentenced Ford to death. In The Fear of Too
Much Justice, legendary death penalty lawyer Stephen B. Bright and
legal scholar James Kwak offer a heart-wrenching overview of how
the criminal legal system fails to live up to the values of
equality and justice. The book ranges from poor people squeezed for
cash by private probation companies because of trivial violations
to people executed in violation of the Constitution despite
overwhelming evidence of intellectual disability or mental illness.
They also show examples from around the country of places that are
making progress toward justice. With a foreword by Bryan Stevenson,
who worked for Bright at the Southern Center for Human Rights and
credits him for “[breaking] down the issues with the death
penalty simply but persuasively,” The Fear of Too Much Justice
offers a timely, trenchant, firsthand critique of our criminal
courts and points the way toward a more just future.

art of extracting hidden meaning from the present by using

remained popular throughout the ages. Diviners today still use
methods that draw on the environment, including reading runes or
cards, floromancy (reading flowers), and even conchomancy (reading
seashells). Our questions might differ from our ancestors', but we

understand, and improve the future. To help you see and change it
