Honoring John Grisham

The author John Grisham wrote a best-selling book called “The Innocent Man,” the story of two men wrongly convicted of a murder in Oklahoma and exonerated by the Innocence Projet.
Last week, Grisham was honored by the Innocence Project for his work. One of the men, Dennis Fritz, attended the benefit and as a jazz pianiest played “What a Wonderful World,” he danced with the murder victim’s mother. (The other man, Ron Williamson, died in 2004.)
The evening, the Innocence Project’s Second Annual Benefit, also honored the Mayer Brown law firm.
Here are two photos from the night—Jeffrey Deskovic, cleared of murdering a Peekskill High School classmate; and John Grisham with Dennis Fritz, Westchester County District Attorney Janet DiFiore, and the founders of the Innocence Project, Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld.
