Last Words

"The only statement I want to make is that I am an innocent man convicted of a crime I did not commit. I have been persecuted for twelve years for something I did not do. From God's dust I came and to dust I will return, so the Earth shall become my throne."

Death & Legacy

Cameron Todd Willingham, who was convicted of murdering his three young daughters in a fire at their Corsicana home in 1991, was executed in Texas in 2004. Despite maintaining his innocence until his death, the state's governor refused to grant a stay of execution. Willingham's case has since become a focal point in the national debate over the death penalty, particularly its application to those who may be innocent.
