Texas Justice:

You knew it was bound to happen, and now we have proof that Texas has murdered an innocent man in their death row factory system of the powerful keeping the weak in line through intimidation of the very worst kind.

David Grann, in a lengthy New Yorker article, relates the story of Cameron Todd Willingham, who was improperly found guilty of murdering his own children through an act of arson which we now know was not arson at all.

Willingham was murdered by the state of Texas on February 17, 2004, after having spent twelve years on death row. Five years later, we now know the evidence used to convict him was false, including the testimony of a jail house snitch who was coerced by authorities into delivering false testimony.

The two little girls who died in the fire that led to the Willingham case did so as a result of a horrible accident. Their father was murdered by the state of Texas and those who exploited the system for their own corrupt purposes.
