FOXBOROUGH — Two days after their season-ending defeat against the Tennessee Titans, Patriots defensive backs Devin and Jason McCourty were championing an important cause just a stone’s throw away from Gillette Stadium.
The twin brothers hosted an advance screening of the film, “Just Mercy,’’ a drama that tells the true story of defense attorney Bryan Stevenson and his work to free a wrongly condemned death-row prisoner. The movie calls attention to the ongoing fight for criminal justice reform, an area in which the McCourtys have been very active over the past years.
“Everything that we believe in and that we’re fighting for, you’ll see in this movie,’’ Devin said Monday night at Patriot Place.
