I understand the purpose of the non-Walter chapters as they speak to purpose 2 of this book, but it was disjointed and I think took away from the punch of Walter’s story. However, I wasn’t a big fan of the formatting of this book and the way they inserted somewhat unrelated chapters and split up Walter’s story. To the purpose of sharing Walter’s story, Stevenson did a fantastic job of drawing the reader in-we feel Walter’s pain and have an almost visceral reaction to the gross injustice blatantly conducted on his case. To bring awareness to the dangers of capital punishment and the overall brokenness in the criminal justice system, especially in treatment of racial minorities, the poor, children, and the disabled To share the story of Walter McMillian, wrongly convicted man on death row This is one of those books that infuriates you because it seems insane that injustices like this exist in the world.
