And justice for all?

Attorney Julius Phelps-Felton, a rising star in the Obama County State Attorney’s Office and author of The New York Times best seller Know Your Rights, is tragically killed in a police-involved shooting while trying to defend his fiancée, R&B musician Laura Mae, from being sexually violated by a police officer. The trauma from the incident sends Laura into a deep depression, eventually leading to her hospitalization and PTSD diagnosis.

Despite Laura testifying that the officer responsible for the shooting was violating law enforcement policies, internal affairs and the Civilian Office of Police Accountability ruled the incident to be a justifiable police shooting. This series of unjust events challenges the American pledge to be “one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

And Justice for All? addresses some of the most critical questions facing Americans today: Is justice blind? Is it really an inalienable right for all?

Strange Fruit

And Justice for All is an emotional and powerful story. It brilliantly illuminates the horror and injustices that Black and Brown people from all walks of life experience daily. I enjoyed the relationship between Julius and Laura Mae and the honest look at the rippling effects of the trauma of their experiences. Truth be told, hearing Laura's trauma reminded me of times in my own life when I felt either exposed, vulnerable, or powerless against those who felt that they had a right to destroy my dignity. The book is well written and well narrated.
