The Innocent Man - John Grisham

Free Ebook The Innocent Man - John Grisham. The story begins with Ron Williamson, who has returned to his hometown after failed attempts at playing for various minor league baseball teams, including the Oakland A's and the Ft. Lauderdale Yankees. This failure leads to a bout of depression, which results in a drinking problem. Very early in the morning of December 8, 1982, the body of Debra Sue Carter, a 21-year-old cocktail waitress at the Coachlight Club (located in Ada), and a resident of Ada, was found in the bedroom of her garage apartment. She had been beaten, raped and suffocated. After five years of false starts and shoddy police work by the Ada police, Williamson—along with his "drinking buddy", Dennis Fritz—was charged, tried and convicted of the rape and murder charges in 1987-1988. Williamson was sentenced to death. Fritz, meanwhile, was given a life sentence. Fritz's own wife had been murdered seven years earlier in 1975 and he was raising his only daughter when arrested.

In a few masterful strokes I capture the upthrust and sigh with unadulterated pleasure. Ahh. But fruk, I'm ravenous. One more stroke, and I'll be ready to smack my lips on pretty well anything. The person who said that it's possible to have too much of a good thing must have been the same fool who said that you can't improve upon nature. I turn an admiring gaze from my painting of Mount Rundle's dueling peaks to the monstrous beauty itself, and a flash of light from below the summit ridge catches my eye. Thought so. Just a pack of climbers advertising to heaven that they've arrived. Another flash. Followed by sparks.
