La historia de Cameron Todd Willingham y Elizabeth Gilbert es un recordatorio poderoso de la fragilidad de la justicia humana. Willingham fue condenado y ejecutado por un incendio en el que murieron sus tres hijas. Aunque siempre sostuvo su inocencia, los errores y la falta de evidencia científica adecuada lo llevaron a un destino trágico. La culpabilidad que se le impuso sin pruebas sólidas es una muestra alarmante de cómo la injusticia puede afectarnuestras vidas.

Cameron Todd Willingham woke up to his two-year-old daughter screaming “Daddy, Daddy!” He sat up in bed, but was surrounded by smoke so thick he could barely see. He made his way out of the burning house and yelled for his neighbors to call the fire department. His two-year-old daughter and one-year-old twins were  trapped inside the home. Cameron dropped to his knees and cried. Firefighters arrived on the scene, but they couldn’t save the children. All three of the Willingham children died in the fire. It was a tragedy, plain and simple. But a few days later, when arson investigators reviewed the scene, they were certain that the fire was set intentionally. Cameron had set the fire. But years later, certainty waned. Were those arson experts really experts, after all?   Then Brandi tells us a bizarre story about Seventh Heaven star Jeremy London. In 2010, Jeremy claimed that a group of men abducted him after they helped him change his flat tire. They forced him to do drugs and drink alcohol at gunpoint. He told them he was in recovery, but they didn’t care. For twelve hours, they forced him to take drugs. He finally got free when one of the kidnappers took pity on him. Jeremy reported his story to the police, but he faced skepticism -- namely from his mom and twin brother. They thought his story sounded fishy. Perhaps Jeremy made the story up in order to cover up a relapse?  And now for a note about our process.

How to describe Miles Hargrove's documentary about his father's kidnapping by FARC guerrillas in 1994 -- a kidnap memoir? Found footage meets ransom procedural?

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.

Today, scientists agree that the arson evidence used to convict Todd was junk science. Did Texas execute an innocent man?

Emmy- and Oscar-winner Edward Zwick speaks about his latest film, Trial By Fire, in the latest episode of Discussions with DPIC. Zwick produced and directed Trial By Fire, which tells the story of Cameron Todd Willingham, who was convicted and sentence to death in 1992 for the alleged arson homicide of his three children. Arson investigators who testified against him used flawed methods, and a jailhouse informant received undisclosed incentives from prosecutors in exchange for his testimony that Willingham had confessed to him, but Willingham was executed in 2004. Willingham’s case featured what Zwick called a “catalog” of problems: “it had the withholding of exculpatory evidence, it had junk science, it had jailhouse snitches who would testify in exchange for reduced sentences, [and] it had a piss-poor public defender.” In an interview with DPIC’s Anne Holsinger, Zwick describes why he decided to tell Willingham’s story, what he learned from the experience, and how he hopes the film will affect audiences. Trial By Fire opens on May 17, 2019.

You may know Ed Zwick from some of his work directing and producing past films, such as “Glory,” “Blood Diamond,” and “Shakespeare in Love”—the latter of which won him an Academy Award. But Zwick’s latest project hits differently. “Trial by Fire,” which arrives in select theaters on May 17, tells the story of Cameron Todd Willingham, a Texas man executed for the murder by arson of his three children after scientific evidence and expert testimony that supported his claims of innocence were ignored in the courts. Zwick sat down with Daniella and Ed to discuss why he chose to direct this latest film—which he describes as a catalogue of everything broken in the criminal justice system—and how movies and popular culture affect, and often precipitate, change.

The story of Cameron Todd Willingham, a man sentenced to death for the murder of his three children, is full of holes. His 1992 conviction rested on reports from two arson investigators who determined beyond doubt that Willingham had intentionally set his home on fire on the morning of December 23rd 1991. Convicted and sentenced to death, Willingham maintained his innocence for the 12 years he spent in prison.

On December 23, 1991, a fire broke out in the home shared by Todd and Stacey Willingham with their three daughters, Amber, 2 and twins Karmon and Kameron, 1.   Willingham was at home alone with the girls at the time of the fire and he was the only one to escape it.  Willingham’s callous behavior and his inconsistent statements to family, friends and investigators caused suspicion.  Those suspicions were confirmed when investigators ruled out electrical or gas problems in the house and found no evidence of an accidental cause.  Testing of the threshhold of  between front door and porch found traces of charcoal lighter fluid, which is an accelerant.  Other indicators of arson were observed, including pour patterns in the floor of the twin’s bedroom and in the hallway leading to the front door.   Willingham was convicted and sentenced to death in August, 1992.  After unsuccessful direct appeal, state post-conviction and federal habeas corpus proceedings, including writs to the U.S. Supreme Court that were declined by the Court, Willingham’s execution date was set for February 17, 2004.  Two weeks before the execution date, materials were sent to Dr. Gerald Hurst, a chemist and arson expert.  Dr. Hurst issued a report ruling out arson and criticizing the original investigation.  This claim, too, was unsuccessful and Willingham’s execution went forward.  Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan on Tuesday, January 8, 2019, at 8:00 p.m. Central for a discussion of the evidence against Willingham, his direct appeal and post-conviction claims and the continued efforts by his family, with the help of the Innocence Project, to exonerate him.

This week we are discussing the case of Cameron Todd Willingham. On December 23rd, 1991 neighbors reported seeing smoke coming from the Willingham household in Corsicana, Texas. Horrified, they watched 23 year old Todd Willingham emerge from the smoke filled entryway, but his three children, all under two years old, were nowhere to be found.The fire department arrived and entered the house. They found the oldest child, unconscious in one of the rooms, but Todd's twins were still missing. When the fire was finally extinguished, investigators recovered the bodies of the twins in their bedroom. Their older sister, who had been rescued from the fire, was pronounced dead at the hospital.Shortly after the fire was put out, Todd was arrested and charged with arson and the murder of his three young daughters. He was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. Despite his conviction, Todd maintained he was not responsible for the fire that killed his children. He appealed until the end, and despite a last minute report casting doubt on the cause of the fire, Todd was put to death on February 17th, 2004.After his death many have raised the question: did Texas execute an innocent man?

One of the best films of 2011, “Incendiary” deals with the capital punishment case of Cameron Todd Willingham, a man convicted of murdering his children in a house fire in 1991. After his lethal injection in 2004, evidence came to light through analysis of the flawed arson forensics used to convict him. As Willingham's family struggles to exonerate him, with the help of arson experts like Gerald Hurst and John Lentini, they have come into conflict with steadfast bureaucracy in the form of politicians like Gov. Rick Perry and Forensic Science Commission Chair John Bradley. it's a great film and an eye-opening conversation. enjoy!Incendiary: The Willingham Case website - great for information on the film and resources/articles about the caseIncendiary trailerIncendiary for rent and purchase on iTunesFURTHER MATERIAL"Trial by Fire" - the New Yorker article by David Grann that inspired the documentary"The Willingham Fire" - David Grann and Blake Eskin talk on The New Yorker's podcast"Flashover" - David Grann explains one of the flaws of arson investigation in this video"Ask the Author Live" - a Q&A with Grann from August 31, 2009Willingham's Family Seeks Posthumous PardonTexas Reviewing Old Arson Convictions for Suspect EvidenceMusic on this podcast brought to you by Music AlleyArtist: Fritz Monath - Song: SmokeOrgans, Togetherness
