USA - Texas. Forensic Science Commission: insufficient evidence that Willingham was innocently executed il 2004

Texas Forensic Science Commission Chairman John Bradley said that the four-person panel has found insufficient evidence to establish that arson investigators botched their 1991 investigation of the fire that killed Cameron Todd Willingham's 3 children. The findings are preliminary and a final report will be presented at a commission meeting later this year. Investigators concluded that Willingham used accelerant to set fire to his Corsicana home. He maintained his innocence up to his 2004 execution. (see also Feb. 17, 2004; May 2, 2006; Aug. 31, Oct. 11 and 14, 2009).
