The Innocent Man is a true crime documentary series that follows the story of Ronald Keith Williamson, a former minor league baseball player who was wrongfully convicted of rape and murder in Ada, Oklahoma in 1988.
The series explores how Williamson and his co-defendant, Dennis Fritz, were convicted based on false confessions, unreliable witnesses, and misconduct by law enforcement and prosecutors.
Through interviews with family members, lawyers, and journalists, The Innocent Man sheds light on the flaws in the criminal justice system that led to Williamson and Fritz's wrongful convictions.
The series also highlights the efforts of the Innocence Project to exonerate Williamson and Fritz through DNA evidence, ultimately leading to their release from prison after spending over a decade behind bars.
