STATEMENT OF DENNIS FRITZ U.S. SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEEJUNE 12, 2000 Good morning Chairman Hatch, Senator Leahy, and other Members of the Committee. My name is Dennis Fritz. I live in Kansas City, Missouri and I am here today with my mother, Mrs. Wanda Fritz.It is a great honor and privilege to be here on behalf of all other wrongfully convicted people around the country who are suffering unjustly for crimes that they did not commit.In May of 1987, I was arrested for a rape and murder that I neither committed, nor had any knowledge of whatsoever. I was arrested five years after the crime occurred, and from that day forward everything went wrong throughout the entire judicial process.I spent the next twelve years serving a life sentence until I was finally able to prove my innocence, for which my thanks go to Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld for their endless efforts on my behalf.My co-defendant, Ron Williamson, was also wrongfully convicted of the same crime and he was sentenced to ...

One Day John Grisham picked up The New York Times and read the obituaries. He read about Ronald Williamson - John Grisham Said “After reading the entire obituary, I knew it had the makings of a much longer story, " To find that story, his first step was calling Williamson’s sister, Annette, in Tulsa, who had been mentioned in the obituary.It took me about 10 minutes to convince her it wasn’t a crank call,” Grisham said. Annette eventually shared the full story, at which point Grisham said he “realized the obituary had hardly scratched the surface. Ron Williamson died Dec. 4, 2004From New York Times:Ronald Williamson, Freed From Death Row, Dies at 51 Ronald Keith Williamson, who left his small town in Oklahoma as a high school baseball star with hopes of a major league career but was later sent to death row and came within 5 days of execution for a murder he did not commit, died on Saturday at a nursing home near Tulsa.

In 1982, high school science teacher Dennis Fritz was living near Ada, Okla., raising his 8-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, whose mother had been murdered by a deranged neighbor when Elizabeth was 2 years old. Fritz frequently visited Ada, where he befriended Ron Will iamson a tall, lanky local who suffered from mental disorders. The two would often play guitar together and then go out to local bars. One of the places they frequented was the Coachlight Club.On Dec. 8, 1982, Debra Sue Carter, a waitress at the Coachlight Club, was found raped and murdered in her apartment. A witness, Glen Gore, came forward to say that Williams on was at the bar bothering Carter on the night of the murder. Fritz, due to his association with Williamson, also came under suspicion. Fritz and Williamson were both questioned by police and then released due to lack of evidence.A few years later, with no one yet charged for the murder, a jailhouse snitch came forward and claimed that Williamson, while in jail o...

From The Justice Project:For every seven executions conducted in the last 25 years, one innocent person has been wrongly convicted and sentenced to death. Regardless of whether or not you support the death penalty, we can all agree that the execution of an innocent person would be "the ultimate nightmare."That's why we wanted to let you know about The Justice Project, an organization that is fighting to prevent the execution of innocent persons by enacting real reforms around the administration of capital punishment in our criminal justice system. By taking just a few minutes to visit The Justice Project web site [http://www.thejusticeproject.org/], you can join the ranks of thousands of Americans -- including people who are in favor of and opposed to the death penalty -- working together to ensure that everyone has access to competent legal counsel and that no one is denied the opportunity to present facts that could prove their innocence.

Capital Punishment - A Jewish Perspective What The Torah Clearly Says
2007-02-11 05:59:00
Capital Punishment - A Jewish PerspectiveThe Torah clearly says that there are crimes, which deserve the punishment of death. However, Jewish tradition makes it equally clear that only under the most exceptional circumstances can a human court be so certain of the guilt of the accused that an execution can be carried out. These restrictions include the requirement of two eyewitnesses of unquestionable character and the prohibition of circumstantial evidence and of self-incrimination, even confession. These and other rules make a death sentence virtually impossible in a Jewish court. The procedures and rules governing capital cases in the judicial system of the United States is entirely unacceptable according to Jewish tradition.Book Recommendation - Journey Toward Justice Author Dennis Fritz On Amazon Here

From Library Journal November 01, 2006 Dennis Fritz's Journey Toward Justi
2007-02-09 22:31:00
Library Journal (Wednesday, November 01, 2006)In April 1999, Fritz walked out of court a free man after spending 11 years in prison for a murder he did not commit. He maintained his innocence from day one against the pressure of detectives, prosecutors, the judge, and the jury. The tide began to turn after Barry Scheck's Innocence Project took on his case. While the blow-by-blow descriptions of Fritz's arrest, hearing, trial, and prison life can be tedious, this book is hard to put down. Readers will keep wondering when someone is going to listen to Fritz and do the right thing, but in the meantime it's almost like watching a train wreck in slow motion. In the process of sharing his story, Fritz comes across as truly remarkable and resilient. The only thing missing from the book is the story of his life since his release. Did the prosecutor and detectives express any remorse? What of the details of the real murderer's conviction? And how has the victim's family fared? There sho...
