Description
A gripping true-crime story of a shocking miscarriage of justice, from international bestselling thriller author John Grisham. In 1971, Ron Williamson was chosen by Oakland in the baseball draft, but his dreams were shattered when he returned to Oklahoma six years later due to injury and personal struggles. In 1982, Debra Sue Carter's murder went unsolved for five years before police turned their attention to Williamson and his friend Dennis Fritz. Despite a lack of physical evidence, they were arrested, charged with murder, and put on trial. Grisham reveals that the prosecution's case was built on flawed science and coerced testimony, leading to a devastating outcome. This book is an eye-opening exploration of a miscarriage of justice, one that will challenge your assumptions about the American justice system and leave you questioning the fairness of the death penalty.
