Listen now
Description
In 1991, a house fire claimed the lives of 2-year-old Amber Kuykendall, 1-year-old Kameron Willingham, and 1-year-old Karmon Willingham. Their father, Cameron Todd Willingham escaped. Fire investigators concluded that the fire had been deliberately set and Todd was arrested and charged with capital murder. He was executed for this crime in February 2004. Today, scientists agree that the arson evidence used to convict Todd was junk science.
Did Texas execute an innocent man? In part two, Jen deconstructs the trial and discusses the 1991 fire investigation.
