Rating: 4 out of 5
John Grisham’s first work of nonfiction is an exploration of small town justice gone terribly awry.
In 1982, a 21-year-old cocktail waitress was raped and murdered, and for five years the police could not solve the crime. For reasons that were never clear, they suspected Ron Williamson and his friend Dennis Fritz. The two were arrested in 1987 and charged with capital murder. Dennis Fritz was found guilty and given a life sentence. Ron Williamson was sent to death row.
John Grisham takes you through the suspects' previous lives, the crime and the court case as well as the fight to exonerate them.
