{"product_id":"lets-get-free-a-hip-hop-theory-of-justice-9781595585004","title":"Let's Get Free: A Hip-Hop Theory of Justice","description":"Paul Butler was an ambitious federal prosecutor, a Harvard Law grad who gave up his corporate law salary to fight the good fight--until one day he was arrested on the street and charged with a crime he didn't commit. \u003ci\u003eThe Volokh Conspiracy\u003c\/i\u003e calls Butler's account of his trial \"the most riveting first chapter I have ever read.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn a book Harvard Law professor Charles Ogletree calls \"a must read,\" Butler looks at places where ordinary citizens meet the justice system--as jurors, witnesses, and in encounters with the police--and explores what \"doing the right thing\" means in a corrupt system. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSince \u003ci\u003eLet's Get Free\u003c\/i\u003e's publication in spring 2009, Butler has become the go-to person for commentary on criminal justice and race relations: he appeared on ABC News, \u003ci\u003eGood Morning America\u003c\/i\u003e, and Fox News, published op-eds in the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e and other national papers, and is in demand to speak across the country. The paperback edition brings Butler's groundbreaking and highly controversial arguments--jury nullification (voting \"not guilty\" in drug cases as a form of protest), just saying \"no\" when the police request your permission to search, and refusing to work inside the system as a snitch or a prosecutor--to a whole new audience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Butler, Paul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781595585004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Paul Butler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32749469827147,"sku":"9781595585004","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_857b344e-8120-4bff-812b-90e7276851bd.jpg?v=1597790058","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/lets-get-free-a-hip-hop-theory-of-justice-9781595585004","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
