Andy guilty?

**Jerry_** · July 10th, 2009

I'm guessing this has been asked lots of times before, so I apologize for the stupid question.

I haven't read Shawshank Redemption/Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption yet, so I guess the answer might be in there, but I suspect the story never tells.
But does the story ever tell if Andy is guilty of murdering his wife? And if not, have ever mr King ever answered the question in any interview or something?

No, Andy isn't guilty of murdering his wife. A guy named Elwood Blatch admits to killing his wife and her lover at another prison. It's a great story by the way, you should read it!

I guess I should have put spoiler tags, huh? I was so eager about giving him the answer I guess I forgot. Sorry bout that!

Thanks for the replies. Ofcourse I'm going to read it, even have the book, just have to find the time.

No a burglar who broke in killed the couple, Andy actually never went into the place.

I recommend the movie too. This is one of the best film versions of Sai King's written works.
Morgan Freeman is a wonderful Red, although abviously not an Irishman. Mr Freeman can play anyone.
Tim Robbins makes a fine 'cool drink of water' too.

Long days and pleasant nights.
