In
the
major
league
draft
of
1971,
the
first
player
chosen
from
the
State
of
Oklahoma
was
Ron
Williamson.
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.
Six
years
later
he
was
back,
his
dreams
broken
by
a
bad
arm
and
bad
habits
-
drinking,
drugs
and
women.
He
began
to
show
signs
of
mental
illness.
Unable
to
keep
a
job,
he
moved
in
with
his
mother
and
slept
20
hours
a
day
on
her
sofa.
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.
For
reasons
that
were
never
clear,
they
suspected
Ron
Williamson
and
his
friend
Dennis
Fritz.
The
two
were
finally
arrested
in
1987
and
charged
with
capital
murder.
With
no
physical
evidence,
the
prosecution's
case
was
built
on
junk
science
and
the
testimony
of
jaihouse
snitches
and
convicts.
Dennis
Fritz
was
found
guilty
and
given
a
life
sentence.
Ron
Williamson
was
sent
to
death
row.

America
you
are
innocent
until
proven
guilty,
this
book

shock

If
you

in
the
death
penalty,
