The Innocent Man | John Grisham

Pickpick

1982 In the town of Ada, Oklahoma, a young cocktail waitress named Debra Sue Carter was savagely murdered. Ron Williamson was charged, tried, and sentenced to death. He was skilled baseball playing and was going to be the next Mickey Mantle. He had to quit baseball due to a mental illness. The trial was littered with lying witnesses and tainted evidence that would shatter a man's already broken life and let a true killer go free.

EadieB John Grisham's first work of nonfiction reads like a page-turning legal thriller. It is a book that will terrify anyone who believes in the presumption of innocence. Boring in parts, the book is a little long and could use some editing. The book shows that sometimes it is easier for the police to pick on the mentally ill then try to find the real killer. If you like real crime stories, you will want to read this one. 3y
