A libel suit brought by a former Oklahoma district attorney against author John Grisham and Doubleday for the book THE INNOCENT MAN (as well as Barry Scheck, an attorney, and two other authors who wrote books about the same murder case in which two men were wrongfully convicted) was dismissed by Judge Ronald White. The AP says “the judge wrote that it was important to be able to analyze and criticize the judicial system ‘so that past mistakes do not become future ones. The wrongful convictions of Ron Williamson and Dennis Fritz must be discussed openly and with great vigor.”AP
