In 1991, a fire ripped through a small home in Corsicana, Texas, killing three young sisters. Their father, Cameron Todd Willingham, escaped; but within days, investigators accused him of deliberately setting the fire.
In this episode, attorneys Natalie and Katrina revisit the Willingham case and examine why so many believe Texas executed an innocent man.

- The fire and early suspicion
- Outdated arson methods used to claim the blaze was intentional
- Jailhouse informant testimony later revealed as unreliable
- Defense failures in a death penalty trial
- Prosecutorial misconduct allegations
- How junk science continues to drive wrongful convictions
Why It Matters
The Willingham case exposes cracks in the justice system, reminding us that flawed forensics, unreliable witnesses, and weak defense representation can mean the difference between life and death.
