In the 1995 book, as it was reported by Slate, Bryan Stevenson and Tom Chapman were reportedly even more bitter towards each other than Just Mercy (both the book and the movie) would lead you to believe. As it turns out, this portrayal of Chapman might be softer than Chapman's character in real-life, based on what is presented in Pete Earley's 1995 book, Circumstantial Evidence. As Just Mercy goes from the source material's description of the man, it paints him as a character who plays a critical role in both holding McMillian in jail and later leading to his release from death row when he accepts publicly that the evidence suggesting Walter's innocence is overwhelming. While Tom Chapman isn't necessarily made to be the "bad guy" in Just Mercy, he is a considerably opposing force throughout the course of the film, showcasing both indifference to McMillian's potential innocence, then strong-willed belief that he is guilty of these crimes. Tom Chapman Reportedly Had More Animosity Towards Bryan Stevenson Than Just Mercy Depicted Similarly, the scene where Bryan Stevenson gets a gun pulled on him by a police officer during a traffic stop is also when Stevenson was working on a separate case, although the real-life story found the lawyer in his car in front of his apartment. It was placed into this narrative to condense the story into a more contained timeline. Going off those two examples, the subplot about Bryan Stevenson having trouble with a disgruntled white prison guard (Hayes Mercure), who tells Stevenson that he must be strip searched before he can visit the inmates, only to learn to trust Stevenson and see the value of his legal practices, is a story that happened with a separate case in a different prison while Stevenson was working with another client. While they are truthful, they did not happen in the movie's timeline. A few of the incidents depicted in Just Mercy, including Stevenson's strip search by a prison guard and intense encounter with local police, happened while the defense lawyer was working on other cases with separate death row inmates.
Nevertheless, since Just Mercy focuses primarily on Stevenson's working relationship with Walter McMillion, many of the other cases depicted in the movie were ultimately not included in the story. The events depicted in the film are often taken from Stevenson's life and pen, and the narrative that unfolds is based largely on Stevenson's life and career. Just Mercy follows Bryan Stevenson's 2014 memoir of the same name closely.
