The Innocent Man is yet another compelling-yet-bleak look at the broken American justice system, courtesy of Netflix.
The six-episode series digs deep into a complex timeline comprising two similar murders in Ada, Ok, in the 1980s, with the legal proceedings for both crimes spanning into the 2000s. Although the identity of the true killer of the show's second murder, that of cashier Denice Haraway, remains a bit of a mystery - Ada natives Tommy Ward and Karl Fontenot were sentenced to life in prison for her death, but maintain their innocence - the rape and strangulation of Debbie Carter is solved by the end of John Grisham and director Clay Tweel's docuseries.
Warning: Spoilers and graphic language about the events depicted in The Innocent Man ahead.
