Innocent Man
Author
John Grisham
Review
Ron Williamson was wrongly accused of the murder of a young woman in Ada, OK. This true story is eye-opening and heart wrenching. It makes one questionour criminal justice system, the death penalty, and the premise in our country that a man is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Much to often a person is convicted publicly by the media once they are considered a "person of interest."  Reserve it!
