The Innocent Man

Ron Williamson was a star college baseball player in the small town of Ada, Oklahoma. When he left to purse his dreams he seemed destined for glory. But years of injury, drinking, drugs and women took their toll.

He returned to Ada a lonely drifter. In 1982, a 21 years old cocktail waitress was raped and murdered. After five years of fruitless investigation the police arrested Williamson for want of any other suspect. The case against him was built on bogus evidence and the testimony of jailhouse snitches and convicts. He was found guiltya at trial and sent to Death Row.

This is a true story of the criminial justice system gone terribly wrong. Of vengeful prosecutors and incompetent defence lawyers. Of a man's journey to hell. A journey from which he nearly didn't return.
