Court of Inquiry Ruling Postponed
On October 14, 2010, State District Judge Charlie Baird convened a court of inquiry into whether Cameron Todd Willingham was wrongfully executed and whether or not state officials committed a crime in how they handled his case prior to the execution.
On the evening of October 19, the television program “Frontline,” which airs on PBS, will feature the Willingham case (check your local listings for the exact air time). “Death by Fire” will examine all of the evidence used to convict Willingham and will seek to answer the question of whether Texas executed an innocent man. Sign up now to host a viewing party! TCADP will provide you with materials and action ideas for you and your guests.
