Years ago, the all-white judges of a Louisiana appellate court decided, in secret, to systematically ignore petitions filed by prisoners, most of them Black, who claimed they had been unjustly convicted.

This is the story of a horrendous injustice and the three people who tried to expose it.

It begins with a suicide note.

@Jezibaba this is insane. I was before the 5th circuit on appeal and the entire experience was meant to elevate the justices to almost “royal” levels. We won, but I left understanding why our justice system was never meant for the average person. It’s by and for the 1%.

@Gambit_1 so tired of elevating anyone, esp in our justice system.

I'm glad you won. Hell yes to the last part.
