The "arresting, astonishing history" of one lawyer and his defendant who together achieved a "civil rights milestone" (Justin Driver).

In 1966 in a small town in Louisiana, a 19-year-old black man named Gary Duncan pulled his car off the road to stop a fight. Duncan was arrested a few minutes later for the crime of putting his hand on the arm of a white child. Rather than accepting his fate, Duncan found Richard Sobol, a brilliant, 29-year-old lawyer from New York who was the only white attorney at "the most radical law firm" in New Orleans. Against them stood one of the most powerful white supremacists in the South, a man called simply "The Judge."

In this powerful work of character-driven history, journalist Matthew Van Meter vividly brings alive how a seemingly minor incident brought massive, systemic change to the criminal justice system. Using first-person interviews, in-depth research and a deep knowledge of the law, Van Meter shows how Gary Duncan's insistence on seeking justice empowered generations of defendants-disproportionately poor and black-to demand fair trials. Duncan v. Louisiana changed American law, but first it changed the lives of those who litigated it.

Major flaw
My dog liked this, but the charging port part is at the perfect position for dog teeth to catch on (there's a very large indented part with the on/off switch and that), so after only about two weeks of play, the usb C port is ruined and the toy can no longer be charged. Larger dogs or very small dogs might have fewer issues. My dog is a miniature dachshund and he could pick up the toy by biting at that indented part. (Also that "hello" is incredibly grating and if I forgot to turn off the toy would sound hours later, like in the middle of the night when we're sleeping and then my dog wakes up and freaks out.)

Unsafe
This looked like a great idea for my energetic pup until I charged it and turned it on. It worked for maybe 3 minutes and she loved it while it was moving. It stopped suddenly and when I opened the Velcro to pull out the ball to check it, it was VERY warm. Unsafe for human or dog. For over $20 I would expect more for a dog toy. Cheap and non working! I will request a refund !

Great For Dogs With High Prey Instincts
My high prey instinct, Husky/Malamute, loves it. The moment it started moving she was on it. Wouldn't let her brother near it. Not noisy. Has USB port so you can recharge it. It's Very cute. Easy to clean you just pop off the covering and toss it in the washer. Great Brain stimulation - that also allows them to get their energy out - without having to talk a long walk in the middle of winter. Just what I was looking for.
