Title : The Accused - John Grisham - Book
Summary :
On December 7, 1982, in a small Oklahoma town, a twenty-one-year-old woman, Debbie Carter, was brutally raped and murdered. The investigation stalled despite clues leading to a high school friend with whom she was seen the night of the crime. Five years later, another man, Ron Williamson, was arrested by the police in charge of the case. He would be sentenced to death. Just days before his execution, DNA tests cleared him... and pointed to the real culprit: the high school friend—who was never charged. Twelve years passed between Ron Williamson's arrest and his release.
Twelve years during which the police and the justice system have accumulated false testimonies, lies, pseudo-expertise...
With his inimitable art of suspense and thanks to his experience as a lawyer, John Grisham dismantles the infernal mechanism of judicial error and asks: how many innocent people are there on death row in American prisons?
