Description
The master of legal thrillers left the realm of fiction only once – in the book Innocent, where he portrayed the tragic life story of a real person in the face of judicial and police arbitrariness. Without speculation, straightforwardly, and thus extraordinarily vividly, he captured the story of a man sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit. A story that reads like a chilling thriller. The adolescent Ron Williamson, a promising baseball player, could have brought fame to the small Oklahoma town of Ada. However, it ultimately became infamous: five years after someone brutally raped and murdered the local young waitress Debbie Carter in December 1982, Ron and his friend Dennis Fritz were accused and subsequently convicted based on completely unreliable and fabricated evidence: Dennis to life imprisonment, Ron to lose his life. Broken and struggling with mental illness, Ron then endured a twelve-year hell on death row...
