Who was the first person to accuse Walter McMillian of involvement in the crime?

The first person to accuse Walter McMillian of involvement in the crime was Ralph Myers. He was crucial to the case because his testimony was initially used to implicate McMillian in the murder of Ronda Morrison. Myers' volatile relationship with McMillian and his motivation to deflect blame led him to falsely testify against McMillian, framing him in a crime he did not commit. This accusation set off a chain of events that ultimately led to McMillian's wrongful conviction. Understanding this is essential in grasping the themes of injustice and wrongful conviction that are central to Bryan Stevenson’s narrative in "Just Mercy."
