Helpful Score: 1

TRUE STORY Ada, Oklahoma, small town baseball star falls to bi polar and mental problems along with heavy drinking. He and an fellow bar mate get accused of murdering a local girl. The police use shady tactics to send these two fellows to prison. Attorney Barry Scheck (OJ Simpson fame) and the warriors of the Innocence Project get the conviction overturned, with DNA. Very real account of how the weak get railroaded by law enforcement. Instead of doing detective work, they have already decided who is guilty. John Grisham does a great job with details of the case. It is a very fast read.
