State panel reviews arson execution case (Cameron Todd Willingham)
Gov Perry was just so anxious to kill this guy.



The execution of a Texas man for the fire deaths of his three small children is coming under renewed scrutiny as a state panel hears from arson scientists who have studied evidence that sent Cameron Todd Willingham to the death chamber seven years ago.

The Texas Forensic Science Commission began hearing Friday from a panel of experts amid insistence from the Innocence Project, a New York-based legal organization specializing in wrongful conviction cases, that Willingham was convicted with faulty evidence and was innocent when he was put to death in 2004.

1. This story makes me so ill on so many levels
The guy was innocent. I believe that with every fiber of my being.
Rick Perry knew it too.
He was told.

3. The commission members are appointed by the governor, lt. governor, and AG.
Of course it's rigged. And they'll find no wrongdoing either.
