Ryan Marion’s Reviews > The Innocent Man: Murder and Injustice in a Small Town > Status Update

Dennis Fritz's real trial has come. There is hardly any evidence or proof (if not none at all) that explains Fritz as a killer of Debbie Carter. The witnesses barely even speak of Fritz, talking more about Ron Williamson. The only information that really links Fritz to the murder is that he was a friend with Williamson, and the police who interrogated them suspect that there were two killers.

It continues to go on about the tension and difficulty with the trials for Williamson and Fritz as their months in jail drag on. Another lying witness named James C. Harjo, who was briefly a cellmate with Fritz, lies and puts guiltyness on him.

It's talking about Ron's disabilities and incompetency, and that he never really seems to get the treatment and attention for his problems that he needs, until now it seems. A local judge has taken notice of his disabilities, and, sadly and ironically, the two other judges that have actually been with him in the court room have not seemed to have taken notice.

It's explaining how apparently stupid the police and investigators and such were. Glen Gore was a MUCH better suspect than Ron Williamson or anyone else involved in the Carter case, but the thing is is that no one had even really payed attention to him. And it also talks about the made-up, garbage lies of Terri Holland, who made up several claims about the innocent suspects being guilty, and they seemingly bought it.

It's explaining the difficulty with having Ron and his unstable mindset in the preliminary hearing and trials and such.

Williamson and Fritz continue to have their experiences in custody, with the prolonged, troubled investigations and "trials", if you can call them that.
