52 weeks book challenge

The book I read this week was The Innocent Man by John Grisham. This was his first non-fiction book and was very different from his other work. It takes place in the town of Ada Oklahoma. A murder was committed and the law enforcement agencies convicted two innocent men, one of which received the death penalty as his sentence. It was interesting to see the errors made by the prosecution that were virtually ignored during the trials. If you are looking for typical Grisham suspense there was none, but the book was not intended to be a novel. It is the actual account of the wrongs done by the legal system.
