Watch Now!

In this episode of the GEMA Talks series “The Write Stuff,” Judge Christopher Muse shares the story behind his book “Justice Under God”—a decade-long fight to exonerate Bobby Joe Leaster from a wrongful murder conviction. We open with Bobby’s own voice describing the day he met Chris, then explore how recording Bobby’s life story eight months before his death became an act of love and preservation. Judge Muse reflects on how his legal career prepared him to write, why trial lawyers are natural storytellers, and his advice for aspiring writers: don’t be afraid.
