ABOUT THE BOOKS
Unequal Justice is a deeply personal account of the people affected by the criminal justice system. The accused and the victims affected by the search for justice. The unfair tipping of the scales in favor of the prosecution over the rights of the accused. The delays and the cost of seeking justice in the court system and the adverse effects of COVID-19 pandemic and the changes allowed by courts to permeate the system all to keep cases moving. It also about the inherent and fundamental advantages afforded to the state over the constitutional rights of the accused.
