    Rough Justice
  

*by T***W on Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2005*

Lela Bond Phillips's recounting of this once forgotten miscarriage of justice is a gripping story well told in its sparse yet lively style covering barely 120 pages.  While others would have padded the book with trial transcripts and other ephemera Phillips sticks to the facts of the case painting a warts and all portrait of Lena Baker, the accused murderer and her relationship with Ernest White, the victim.  Phillips is unsparing in the depiction of the events leading to the murder as well as well as providing background information on all the major characters as events unfold.  Phillips does an outstanding job of explaining how the standards of crime scene investigation and forensic evidence of the era were not as rigorous as they are now and points out the inherent contradictions in the testimony and evidence presented at trial.  Phillips studiously avoids making judgments and is careful to point out that readers should not use contemporary standards to judge the characters and their actions. The unflattering and unemotional depiction of an interracial relationship gone wrong in the Jim Crow South has the potential for overwrought prose, but Phillips keeps that in check, largely due to her writing ability (she has an MA in English).  In fact her style of writing is well suited for historical writing even though here she is writing out-of-field.When printed in 1998 this book generated renewed interest in the case and efforts to mark Ms. Baker's grave and obtain a pardon from the Board of Parole and Pardons was undertaken.  Those efforts bore fruit on August 15, 2005 when the Board posthumously pardoned Ms. Baker.  The pardon is a small consolation as she was electrocuted 60 years ago in Georgia's electric chair; the only woman to be put to death.  This book is highly recommended for those interested in exploring the Jim Crow era of the South, Georgia History, and real life crime stories.  Phillips's style of writing is very enjoyable and this book is a lively page turner that will give you a better understanding of the times.

    Blind Justice
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2010*

It was black history month and I seen this picture Hope and redemption: The Lena Baker Story. Wow I didn't know that in 1945 a black woman by the name of lena baker was executed in the state of georgia as the story was told lena life was up and down is had a praying mother a good woman that did washing and taking care of littlew white kids back in the day, but lena just had a bad time drinking in cat houses and jail, but the biggest problem she had did she kill a white man by the name of ernest knight? this man did everything in the world to lena and now you can see way is drink more and more he would come get her when he want to and buy whiskey to keep her there. But all in all the justice system was blind by then and is blind now. What a story, this story should be told.

This book is a story about a women who was abused beat and got the electric chair all because of the color of her skin! Her only crime was defending her self from her white abuser that might have went on abuseing not only her but maybe her children! America has come along way from that time but not far enough! Now thank GOD that we now have DNA testing may all the innocent men and women sitting in prison be set free! But time ticks slow when you sit in an over croweded prison waiting for that to happen! America needs to wake up and get the innocent out! It should not take 19 years for a man to be set free because of DNA evidence! Read this book!!!
