Dennis Fritz

Dennis Fritz

Dennis Fritz and Ron Williamson were wrongly convicted of the murder of Ada, Oklahoma resident Debra Carter. Fritz was given a life sentence, while Williamson was sentenced to death in 1988.[1] Fritz and Williamson were the subjects of a non-fiction book, The Innocent Man: Murder and Injustice in a Small Town by John Grisham, which later went on to become a bestseller. Fritz later had his conviction overturned and was released from prison on April 15, 1999.[2] Dennis Fritz has published his own personal account of the tragedy, titled Journey Toward Justice[3].

Current activities

Mr. Fritz was last known to be living in Kansas City, Missouri, with his mother, while his daughter Elizabeth, now in her 30s, lives in Oklahoma.
