Innocent but Executed
In 2004 Cameron Todd Willingham was executed in Texas. Until his death he claimed his innocence. Now, years later, a New Yorker article investigates Willingham’s case and finds that there is forensic proof that Willingham was indeed innocent.
Barry Scheck, co-director of the Innocence Project writes an article for the Huffington Post about the need to improve on forensic testing in the United States. Read the article here.
