Grisham details several cases of wrongful prosecutions leading to incarceration on death row in Oklahoma. Most of the details are about incompetence followed by intransigence. After ignoring a confession and rushing to judgement, several men are convicted. Years later they are exonerated by DNA evidence but the town refuses to believe the evidence.
Grisham's epilogue is even more dismaying as he points out that this story is not only about Oklahoma but that these stories exist across the US.
