Description

A gripping true-crime story of a shocking miscarriage of justice, from international bestselling author John Grisham. In 1971, Ron Williamson was the first player chosen from Oklahoma, but his dreams of glory were shattered by a bad arm and bad habits. Six years later, a 21-year-old cocktail waitress, Debra Sue Carter, was raped and murdered, and Ron was wrongly accused of the crime. The prosecution's case was built on junk science and the testimony of jailhouse snitches and convicts, leading to a life sentence for his friend Dennis Fritz and a death sentence for Ron Williamson. But as Grisham methodically lays out, there was no case against Ron. This book will expose the flaws in the justice system and the devastating consequences of a miscarriage of justice. A shocking and thought-provoking true crime story, now a major Netflix series.
