The Innocent Man by John Grisham
Ron Williamson is a high school baseball player who "had" it all, until he starts to make a series of bad judgements. When his promising professional baseball career doesn't materialize like he had hoped, he feels he has let his community down. When a women is murdered in his town, the investigators believe he is the primary suspect. He cannot convince the authorities of his innocence, and the court system does not provide the justice it should.
This was a compelling story that really made me angry and frustrated with our judicial system. From the inept lawyers to the prosecuting teams to the abuse in the prison system, Ron Williamson suffers through it all. How many more cases are there in our system where the accused is not given the attention he needs because it is easier to assume he is quilty!
