Author and human rights lawyer Bryan Stevenson came on “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart” to promote his new book “Just Mercy.”
“Just Mercy” is the memoir of his life and his work as the founder and director of the Equal Justice Initiative, a nonprofit organization that provides legal representation to defendants and prisoners denied fair and just treatment in the legal system.
