Synopsis
In Texas, Cameron Todd Willingham was sentenced to death for killing his three children in an arson fire. Despite scientific evidence and expert testimony indicating that the fire was not intentionally set, and therefore clearing Willingham's name, he was executed. His story gained significant attention posthumously when it was revealed that his conviction was based on false testimony.
