The Innocent Man

Key takeaways:

- A great–or terrible, I suppose–example of blindness caused by hubris. Be very careful being 100% confident of anything–it makes it hard to change your mind in light of new evidence.

“The Innocent Man” by John Grisham is a gripping true crime book that exposes a tragic miscarriage of justice. It follows the wrongful conviction and eventual release of Ron Williamson, who was initially sentenced to death for a crime he didn't commit. The book sheds light on flaws in the criminal justice system and unreliable testimony.

Tan increíblemente aburrido y falto de dinámica que lo dejé por la mitad.

I am now terrified of being wrongfully accused of murder. This was John Grisham's first non-fiction novel and he did excellent. The facts were thorough, I could understand all the legal jargon, and I was greatly disappointed in the backwards judicial system.

I highly recommend this book!

What I learned from this sad tale:
Don't trust police.
Don't trust lawyers.
Don't trust judges.
Especially in Ada.

I didn't really enjoy this book. The author just seemed to drag the story out, especially in the beginning, with too many unnecessary details (at least for my taste).

This is a very interesting “true crime” read. It's totally a one sided account(which I think you can gather from the description). This book enraged me at times regarding the criminal justice system in the U.S. The first chapter is a little gruesome with murder details but overall it's a good book to listen to in the car while commuting.
