Book excerpt: Ordinary Injustice shows how the legal and judicial system is stacked against Latinos, documenting the racial inequities in the system from the time of arrest and incarceration to final deposition and post-conviction experiences. The book chronicles the obstacles and injustices faced by a young Latino student with no previous criminal record and how a simple misdemeanor domestic violence case morphed into a very serious case with multiple felonies, and potential life sentence without the possibility of parole.
