Just Mercy – Friday 6th February @12:10am | BBC Three

Based on the true story of young lawyer Bryan Stevenson and his history-making battle for justice.

One of his first, and most incendiary, cases is that of Walter McMillian, who, in 1987, was sentenced to die for the notorious murder of an 18-year-old girl, despite a preponderance of evidence proving his innocence and the fact that the only testimony against him came from a criminal with a motive to lie. In the years that follow, Bryan becomes embroiled in a labyrinth of legal and political manoeuvrings and overt and unabashed racism as he fights for Walter and others like him – with the odds and the system stacked against them.

Written by Bryan Stevenson. Starring Michael b Jordan, Jamie Foxx & more.
