The Innocent Man Book Summary and Study Guide

Detailed plot synopsis reviews of The Innocent Man


Two men, Ron Williamson and Dennis Fritz, are wrongfully accused of murder and rape. Why is unclear, but for five years they are the main suspects. One person, Glen Gore, that was actually seen with the murdered girl slips through the cracks and for a period of time is not even thought about until a new doctor submits new medical evidence and DNA is taken from him that puts him as the scene with the girl Debra Carter. The only problem is proving the murder.
