Cameron Todd Willingham was a man from Texas who was convicted in 1992 for the arson-related deaths of his three children. He was sentenced to death and executed in 2004, despite maintaining his innocence throughout the trial and appeals process. After his execution, several investigations raised doubts about the evidence used to convict him, particularly the arson analysis. In 2009, a report by a group of fire experts concluded that the fire was likely accidental, leading to widespread criticism of the criminal justice system and the use of forensic evidence in capital cases.
