CONTEMPT OF COURT(ISBN=9780385720823) 英文原版 txt umd azw3 下载 fb2 pdf 在线 免费

　　In this profound and fascinating book, the authors revisit an

overlooked Supreme Court decision that changed forever how justice

is carried out in the United States.

In 1906, Ed Johnson was the innocnet black man found guilty of

the brutal rape of Nevada Taylor, a white woman, and sentenced to

die in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Two black lawyers, not even part of

the original defense, appealed to the Supreme Court for a stay of

execution, and the stay, incredibly, was granted. Frenzied with

rage at the deision, locals responded by lynching Johnson, and what

ensued was a breathtaking whirlwind of groundbreaking legal action

whose import, Thurgood Marshall would claim, "has never been fully

explained." Provocative, thorough, and gripping, Contempt of Court

is a long-overdue look at events that clearly depict the peculiar

and tenuous relationship between justice and the law.
