http://www.muskogeephoenix.com/local/local_story_272011806.html; An Oklahoma prosecutor and a 37-year career law enforcement officer claim their reputations were ruined by three books published nearly a year ago that profile two Ada homicide cases. Those authors, their book publishers and others were the target of a civil conspiracy lawsuit filed Friday in the U.S. District Court of Eastern Oklahoma. The lawsuit alleges defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress and seeks damages of more than $75,000. John Grisham's book "The Innocent Man," his first nonfiction work, explores the investigation of the 1982 murder of Debbie Sue Carter, a waitress at an Ada restaurant. The book also documents the subsequent prosecution and conviction of Dennis Fritz and Ron Williamson in connection with Carter's death. Both men were convicted in 1988. Williamson, who was sentenced to death, and Fritz, who was handed a life sentence, were exonerated 11 years later through DNA evidence
