Murder and injustice in a small town

"In the major league draft of 1971, the first player chosen from the State of Oklahoma was Ron Williamson. When he signed with the Oakland A's, he said goodbye to his hometown of Ada and left to pursue his dreams of big league glory.

"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 finally arrested in 1987 and charged with capital murder. This work is an exploration of justice gone terribly awry."@en
"When in 1982 a girl was found raped and murdered, Ronald Williamson was in prison serving time for petty crime. But Williamson still managed to be found guilty for this crime and sentenced to death. John Grisham delves into this story, tracing the man, the case and the trial, and one of the worst miscarriages of justice."@en
