In 1985, Anthony Ray Hinton was arrested and charged with two counts of capital murder in Alabama. Stunned, confused, and only twenty-nine years old, Hinton knew that it was a case of mistaken identity and believed that the truth would prove his innocence and ultimately set him free.
But with no money and a different system of justice for a poor black man in the South, Hinton was sentenced to death by electrocution. He spent his first three years on Death Row at Holman State Prison in agonizing silence—full of despair and anger toward all those who had sent an innocent man to his death. But as Hinton realized and accepted his fate, he resolved not only to survive, but find a way to live on Death Row. For the next twenty-seven years he was a beacon—transforming not only his own spirit, but those of his fellow inmates, fifty-four of whom were executed mere feet from his cell. With the help of civil rights attorney and bestselling author of Just Mercy, Bryan Stevenson, Hinton won his release in 2015.
With a foreword by Stevenson, The Sun Does Shine is an extraordinary testament to the power of hope sustained through the darkest times. Destined to be a classic memoir of wrongful imprisonment and freedom won, Hinton’s memoir tells his dramatic thirty-year journey and shows how you can take away a man’s freedom, but you can’t take away his imagination, humor, or joy.
A gut-wrenching journey to freedom and justice. A little bit repetitious, though.
评分A gut-wrenching journey to freedom and justice. A little bit repetitious, though.
评分Anthony Ray Hinton是一个有大慈悲大智慧的ex死刑犯。他因为三桩他没做过的谋杀案、一群只想找个黑人替罪羊的白人法官检察官陪审团,在没有任何证据的情况下蹲了三十年的大牢。他对于人类的那种慈悲心与怜悯心,和他对于生活的无限积极热爱,太让人震撼了。全书最喜欢的就是他与Henry Hays之间unlikely的友谊——ARH相信人不过是命运和环境的产物,所以相信任何人would not have done the wrong if they could have done otherwise;但他又告诉自己不论情况如何恶劣,你总可以选择善良和积极。最后一章里列着的死刑犯名单里有一位是我现在的客户——如果有一天我能做一名像Bryan Stevenson一样给人以希望的律师,那就好了。
