A few days ago, I finished reading UNFAIR, a new book about our criminal justice system by Adam Benforado, who is a law professor at one of our American Universities. This is not a quick read, but it's very worth reading. Each chapter makes the reader aware of the unrecognized biases that creep into the deliberations about an accused perpetrator. Perhaps starting with the arresting officers, incorrect assumptions may result in lengthy jail terms for persons who are guilty of nothing more than being in the wrong place at the wrong time Read the book now, and if you're called for jury duty, REMEMBER IT..
