Innocent Man 5CD. Джон Гришэм888 руб
In his first work of nonfiction, John Grisham delivers his most extraordinary thriller yet. Sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction. 5 CDs. Abridged. In the major league draft of 1971, the first player chosen from the State of Oklahoma was Ron Williamson. John Grisham’s first work of nonfiction, an exploration of small town justice gone terribly awry, is his most extraordinary legal thriller yet. Six years later he was back, his dreams broken by a bad arm and bad habits—drinking, drugs, and women. 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. Unable to keep a job, he moved in with his mother and slept twenty hours a day on her sofa. He began to show signs of mental illness. For reasons that were never clear, they suspected Ron Williamson and his friend Dennis Fritz. In 1982, a 21-year-old cocktail waitress in Ada named Debra Sue Carter was raped and murdered, and for five years the police could not solve the crime. With no physical evidence, the prosecution’s case was built on junk science and the testimony of jailhouse snitches and convicts. The two were finally arrested in 1987 and charged with capital murder. Ron Williamson was sent to death row. Dennis Fritz was found guilty and given a life sentence. If you believe in the death penalty, this book will disturb you. If you believe that in America you are innocent until proven guilty, this book will shock you. 2006. If you believe the criminal justice system is fair, this book will infuriate you. |
