Rumita Singh asked John Grisham:

Hello John, I just wanted to say you’re a phenomenal author. As a lawyer myself, I truly enjoy reading all of your books. For your upcoming book, can you tell us what was the most challenging part of recounting the stories of exoneration and the writing about it?

John Grisham By far the biggest challenge was the sheer volume of research, the digging through police files, jail records, trial transcripts, appeals, appellate decisions, etc, stuff you understand. Every case has about a million pages and you never know when you’ll find something new.
