The Death Penalty: Cameron Todd Willingham
This piece about the life and death of Cameron Todd Willingham is many things. I hope everyone who cares about our system of justice will read it. And, will think about Mr. Willingham and all of the people of the story. Were it not for Elizabeth Gilbert and David Grann the story would never have been told. David Grann, Trial by Fire: Did Texas execute an innocent man?, The New Yorker, September 7, 2009.
And see this addition to the article. It is a response to the statements of John Jackson, the prosecutor in the Willingham case. David Grann, The Prosecution Defends Itself, September 4, 2009, The New Yorker.
And here is more on the case in the Corsicana Daily Sun here, here, here and here.
