So I just finished May God Have Mercy, and I found it both compelling and disturbing - a fairly heartbreaking look at the many and varied ways the criminal justice system can fail a person. My inner nerd does wish the book had included at least a few chapters giving a larger context to the various players' experiences, rather than only focusing on telling the one story, but it's a good read nonetheless.
