description: "Ronald Keith Williamson was an American former minor league baseball catcher and pitcher, who was one of two men wrongly convicted in 1988 in Oklahoma for the rape and murder of Debra Sue \"Debbie\" Carter. His former friend Dennis Fritz was sentenced to life imprisonment, while Williamson was sentenced to death. Both were released 11 years later when DNA evidence proved their innocence. Their story became the subject of bestselling author John Grisham's first nonfiction book, The Innocent Man: Murder and Injustice in a Small Town (2006), and the adapted Netflix docu-series of the same name."
