Just Mercy

by

Bryan Stevenson

Vickie Pittman was the woman murdered in Escambia County near the time of Ronda Morrison’s murder. Born to a poor, white, rural family, Vickie was beloved by her aunts, Onzelle and Mozelle. Due to her background, Vickie’s murder received less attention that Ronda’s. Ralph Myers and Karen Kelly were both arrested and imprisoned for involvement in Vickie’s murder. However, during Stevenson’s investigations, he came to suspect local law enforcement and Vickie’s father, Vic Pittman. Within the book, the truth of her murder is never uncovered.
