Most of us were shocked a few weeks back when we heard the Conservative audience at one of the Republican debates - cheer wildly for Texas Governor Rick Perry's execution record. But what's even more shocking - is that at least one of Rick Perry's many executions - might have actually been an innocent man. This is Cameron Todd Willingham - a man that Rick Perry executed in 2004 - after he was convicted of murdering his three children by setting his house on fire back in 1991. However since his execution - subsequent investigations and new evidence point to an inconvenient truth for Governor Perry - and our entire nation - and that is - that Cameron Todd Willingham in all likelihood was innocent. Joining me now are two filmmakers who recently finished a movie on the story of Cameron Todd Willingham - Steve Mims and Joe Bailey, Jr. - and they're here to tell us what really happened.
