Did Texas execute an innocent man?

CORSICANA – Texas might be on the verge of admitting it executed an innocent man who was tried, sentenced and put to death based on faulty forensics, according to a recent report commissioned by the Texas Forensic Science Commission.

It centers on a crime this city, an hour south of Dallas, can't forget.

"I've been doing law enforcement for approximately 37 years and this is one of the worst scenes I've ever seen," remembered Sgt. Jimmie Hensley of the Corsicana Police Department.

In December 1991, a fire swept through Cameron Todd Willingham's small home.

He escaped but his three young daughters did not.

Very interesting. I wonder if this will have any effect on the state's stance on the death penalty (probably not).
