Case brief: Thomas v. Lumpkin (Cited as: 598 U. S. ____ (2022)). How do our American courtrooms support, and discriminate against, people who have mental health crises? How does that treatment change when the person in crisis is Black or Brown? On this episode of Manifest Justice you'll learn about Andre Thomas, a Black man from Texas currently on death row, and the racially discriminatory conditions that lead to his unjust sentence.
