Cameron Todd Willingham: When Junk Science Leads to Execution

This haunting episode investigates how flawed arson science led to the execution of an innocent man in Texas. We meticulously break down how outdated fire investigation methods and prosecutorial misconduct resulted in Willingham's conviction for allegedly setting the fire that killed his three children. Through expert testimony, scientific analysis, and court documents, we reveal how modern fire science proved the original investigation was based on myths rather than facts. The episode concludes with a devastating examination of how Texas proceeded with Willingham's execution despite compelling evidence of his innocence, raising profound questions about the death penalty and the use of forensic science in criminal trials.
