Joyce Ann Brown: Justice Denied

Imagine being in prison for something you know you didn't do, this is what happened to Joyce Brown. Joyce had witnesses, was at work the time the crime was committed, but was still found guilty for the murder of a store owner, who's wife pointed her out as being the guilty party. If this can happen to Joyce Brown it can happen to anyone. I think GOd for those gentlemen who came to her aid in the book. If you think there is now way that you could end up in prison, read this book, and you will see that you very well could even if you are innocent with lots of evidence.

From the moment I opened this book I could not put it down. I started it one afternoon and was up most of the night because I could not quit reading. I wanted to see what happen in the next chapter. I laughed, I cried, my heart ached as I lived along with Miss Brown as she suffered and fought against the unfair justice system we now have. I cried when I read where they would not release her even after it was proven that she was innocence. Since reading the book I have had the opportunity to meet Miss Brown in person in the home of my niece who now work on her Board of Directors. I could only sit and stare at her. She is warm and friendly and looking at her you would never believe that she endured such a hard time in her life. I wanted to ask so many questions....but I did not want to dampen that beautiful spirit that shown so brightly before my eyes. Her story is being made into a movie and I hope everyone will watch it and tell evreryone they know to watch it. It will be on Life Time. Justice Denied coming up soon. Citystar

Once I started the book, I couldn't lay it down. My heart ached for the nine years Ms. Brown was unnecessarily in prison. Something needs to change within our system!

Joyce Ann Brown's documentation of her trials and tribulation should be required text for elementary through college students. It would be better served than some of the archaic readings for the past 50 years. All students could learn and take something from her experience. If this book saves one child, touches a decision maker in our judicial system, reaches one who is incarcerated or enlightens even one reader, then it is worth it. This book is a "bible" in its own right. Ms. Brown suffered at the hands of the system but prevailed through determination and the everpresence of God. The moral of this book should be "He may not come when you want Him, but He's always there when you need Him"!
