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.

Great ball!
Color: Blue
I have a LaRoo rechargeable as well and wanted to get a second one since occasionally my dog will take it outside without me knowing. I ordered this one since I wanted a blue one. I actually like this ball better since it’s rubber/silicone which bounces better (also soft on his mouth) and the removal for the switch and charging has easier access. Highly recommend if you have a fetch lover especially before bedtime. It has a single light mode as well as a flash mode and changes to multiple colors. 100% worth the purchase and will be recommending

Night time fetch
Color: Orange
I bought this product because i needed a light up ball that i can use at night to play fetch with my 50lb Portuguese water dog. Night time fetch is where its at!! Nobody around, and all focus on the bouncing disco ball that you 100% cannot lose, its that bright. Cheat code unlocked! It’s been about a month or so of regular nightly use, and this product is fantastic. It is very durable made of a tough rubber silicone type material. The light lasts longer than you need it and is super bright. It is approximately the weight of a lacrosse ball and fits a chuck it thrower/launcher perfectly. It can be thrown very far with no damage to the ball or light. Best 20$ i spent for my dog. Its his favorite toy.

Perfect Toy for Active Dogs
The disc's design makes it easy to throw and glide smoothly through the air, which my dog loves to chase and catch. It's also a great way to exercise him and keep him active and healthy. One of the standout features is that it floats, making it an excellent toy for beach and pool days. We've taken it to some summer parties, and it always grabs the attention of other dogs and their owners. It's a versatile toy that's perfect for training, playing fetch, and general interactive fun.

Nice full sized doggy flying toy
This LaRoo Dog Flying Disc surprised my in the size and sturdiness. The disc measures 10 inches across, so it is appropriate for most dogs as it only weighs about 6 ounces. The material of the disc is made from sort of ultra high density foam, so there is a bit of give so depending on your dog they will probably leave some teeth marks as they grab it from the ground, but unlike the hard plastic discs, this disc isn't making many of those sharp edges. My pup loves chasing this disc, but it is a bit unpredictable where it will fly in the wind because is so light, but I think this just enhances the game.
