Watch online: last night's Dateline NBC on two Oklahoma wrongful convictions
Posted: May 23, 2007
Last night on Dateline NBC, author John Grisham discussed his best-selling book, The Innocent Man, and the case of Ron Williamson and Dennis Fritz, two men who were wrongfully convicted of a 1982 Oklahoma murder. They served 12 years in prison — Williamson was on death row — before DNA proved their innocence and identified the real killer. Also on the program, Attorney General Bill Peterson responded to Grisham's book and public opinion.
