http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21037670/; Novelist John Grisham has been named in a libel lawsuit filed over a nonfiction best seller he wrote about the 1982 murder of a cocktail waitress. The lawsuit, filed Friday morning in U.S. District Court, also names several other defendants, seeks relief of more than $75,000 and demands a jury trial. The plaintiffs are Pontotoc County District Attorney Bill Peterson and Gary Rogers, a former agent for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. The two men originally convicted of Debbie Sue Carter's murder in Ada, Okla., Ron Williamson and Dennis Fritz, were later exonerated by DNA evidence and freed after 12 years in prison. Their experiences are chronicled in two books, Grisham's "The Innocent Man," and Fritz's "Journey Toward

http://runestones.blogspot.com/2007/01/posthumous-justice.html; Posthumous Justice Since the Supreme Court reinstated the "modern" death penalty in 1976, 1,060 inmates have been executed in the U.S. Proponents of the death penalty have long denied that any--not even one--of those executed was innocent of the crime that placed them on Death Row. They've argued that the many legal safeguards in place serve as a rigorous filter to ensure that only the truly guilty suffer the ultimate legal sanction. These safeguards include fine-grained state and federal appeal processes that can consume decades and the availability of post-conviction relief though the increased use of DNA and other scientific evidence. But as refined scientific investigative techniques (like DNA analysis) become more widely available, there's more reason to believe that the executions of innocent persons may have been more common than we have been led to believe.
