In 1985, Hinton was arrested for murder, found guilty, and sentenced to death by electric chair in Alabama. However, Hinton was working in a locked warehouse at the time of the shooting. This audiobook tells the tale of Hinton's early life, the trial, and the next 30 years he spent on death row. The most remarkable aspect of Hinton was and is his ability to see happiness in every situation. He even told his prosecutor that he loved him after the trial. Civil rights attorney Bryan Stevenson (Just Mercy) learned of the case years later and helped to exonerate Hinton in 2015. A foreword voiced by Stevenson brings the listener into Hinton's world immediately. Narrator Kevin R. Free performs the book perfectly as he reads Hinton's powerful tale.
VERDICT Any person who follows the Innocence Project in the news and those who watched Making a Murderer on Netflix will be amazed at Hinton's perseverance throughout his incarceration and years on death row. ["A must for anyone involved in criminal justice. Suggested reading for anyone interested in learning more about death row and its horrors": LJ 4/1/18 starred review of the St. Martin's hc.]
