Ron Williamson

Ron Williamson was an American man wrongfully convicted of murder in Oklahoma. He was a former baseball player with a difficult life, struggling with mental health issues. In 1982, he was accused of killing a woman named Wanda Lapierre, and despite limited evidence, he was convicted largely based on flawed eyewitness testimony and inadequate investigations. Williamson spent nearly 11 years on death row before DNA evidence cleared him in 1999, revealing he was not the attacker. His case highlights flaws in the justice system, including wrongful convictions and the importance of forensic evidence.
