This evidence poses a problem because Willingham could have easily gone to the bar to "drink away his sorrows."

He was screaming, “My babies are burning up!” His children—Karmon and Kameron, who were one-year-old twin girls, and two-year-old Amber—were trapped inside.
Willingham told the Barbees to call the Fire Department, and while Diane raced down the street to get help he found a stick and broke the children’s bedroom window. Fire lashed through the hole. He broke another window; flames burst through it, too, and he retreated into the yard, kneeling in front of the house. A neighbor later told police that Willingham intermittently cried, “My babies!” then fell silent, as if he had “blocked the fire out of his mind.”

He said he awoke from a nap to find the home so filled with smoke and flames that he could not locate his sleeping children and was barely able to stumble out of the house alive.

In 2014, Webb recanted that testimony, saying Willingham never confessed and that he had testified after prosecutor, John H. Jackson promised him leniency on his own criminal charge. Webb states:
“I lied on the man because I was being forced by John Jackson to do so, I succumbed to pressure when I shouldn’t have. In the end, I was told, ‘You’re either going to get a life sentence or you’re going to testify.’ He coerced me to do it.”]]> 2018-10-14 00:50:39 UTC https://padlet.com/99015847/ne3p1pkek3ty/wish/292475515 Fire Experts Testify in 2010 Cameron Todd Willingham case 99015847 https://padlet.com/99015847/ne3p1pkek3ty/wish/292476887 2018-10-14 01:17:06 UTC https://padlet.com/99015847/ne3p1pkek3ty/wish/292476887 Misinterpreted Arson Evidence 99015847 https://padlet.com/99015847/ne3p1pkek3ty/wish/292477062 After the fire, the police investigation determined that the fire had been started using some form of liquid accelerant. This evidence included a finding of char patterns in the floor in the shape of "puddles", a finding of multiple starting points of the fire, and a finding that the fire had burned "fast and hot", all considered to indicate a fire that had been ignited with the help of a liquid accelerant. The investigators also found charring under the aluminum front doorjamb, which they believed was further indication of a liquid accelerant, and tested positive for such an accelerant in the area of the front door.
This evidence poses a problem because Douglas Fogg, who was then the assistant fire chief in Corsicana, and one of the state’s leading arson sleuths, a deputy fire marshal named Manuel Vasquez, had misinterpreted the evidence of the fire with the fire accelerant and char patterns in the ground as arson.]]> 2018-10-14 01:21:04 UTC https://padlet.com/99015847/ne3p1pkek3ty/wish/292477062 Charred patterns on the floor 99015847 https://padlet.com/99015847/ne3p1pkek3ty/wish/292612144 This misinterpreted evidence for arson lead to the conviction of a death penalty for Cameron Todd Willingham.]]> 2018-10-14 23:30:31 UTC https://padlet.com/99015847/ne3p1pkek3ty/wish/292612144 His Last Words 99015847 https://padlet.com/99015847/ne3p1pkek3ty/wish/294669207 "The only statement I want to make is that I am an innocent man convicted of a crime I did not commit.
