But on his way to the Big Leagues, Ron stumbled, his dreams broken by drinking, drugs, and women. Then, on a winter night in 1982, not far from Ron's home, a young cocktail waitress named Debra Sue Carter was savagely murdered. The investigation led nowhere. Until, on the flimsiest evidence, it led to Ron Williamson. The washed-up small-town hero was charged, tried, and sentenced to death--in a trial littered with lying witnesses and tainted evidence that would shatter a man's already broken life, and let a true killer go free. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eImpeccably researched, grippingly told, filled with eleventh-hour drama, \u003ci\u003eThe Innocent Man\u003c\/i\u003e reads like a page-turning legal thriller.
