Sull'autore

Anthony Ray Hinton is an American author and civil rights advocate who was wrongfully convicted of murder and spent nearly 30 years on death row. His story is one of resilience and hope, as he endured the harsh realities of incarceration while maintaining his innocence. Hinton's conviction was based on unreliable evidence, and after years of legal battles, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously overturned his conviction in 2015, leading to his release.

Since his exoneration, Hinton has become a powerful voice against the death penalty and the injustices within the American legal system. He is the author of the memoir "The Sun Does Shine: How I Found Life, Freedom, and Justice," where he shares his experiences and the lessons he learned during his time in prison. Through his work, Hinton emphasizes the importance of forgiveness and the need for systemic change in the criminal justice system.
