Hypothetical Disposition——————
Lets assume you encounter Joe Sullivan at the time of their most notable offense…..
What treatment regime would you suggest for him & why?
Joe Sullivan from Just Mercy———–
Joe Sullivan was a thirteen-year-old convicted of rape and sentenced to life in an adult prison in Florida. Joe maintained that he had robbed but not raped his victim. Joe, who had suffered childhood abuse, was raped repeatedly in prison, attempted suicide several times, and developed multiple sclerosis. EJI represents Joe in a case that reaches the Supreme Court. They win the case, which opens the opportunity for Joe’s release. Joe becomes attached to Stevenson and often writes him heartfelt letters in a “childlike” tone, suggesting that his trauma has caused intellectual and emotional delays.
