Expert Solution

1.Just Mercy Read Chapters 6 and 8. Do you think Bryan Stevenson makes a compelling case that there are problems in the U.S. criminal justice system‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‌‍?Bryan Stevenson makes a compelling case that there are issues in the U.S.A. criminal justice structure. For instance, Charlie's crime settings offer room for further in-depth reflection on the aims and moral principles of the criminal justice system (Stevenson, 2014). Although the criminal justice system's stated goals are to safeguard the innocent and prosecute wrongdoing, neither of these goals is met in the cases of George and Charlie (Stevenson, 2014). Charlie is too little to physically restrain George from mistreating his mother. He doesn't know how to report domestic violence or is afraid George will get away with it and react against Charlie for calling attention to him. Charlie, who felt exposed and worried that he had lost his mother, decided to stand up for himself and defend himself (Stevenson, 2014). His subsequent incident, in which he was wrongly prosecuted and then abused in prison, as a result, served as an example of how flawed and unfair the judicial system is.
