DALLAS — A fire investigation that led to the execution of a man in the deaths of his three young children was so seriously flawed that its conclusion of arson can’t be supported, a fire expert hired by the state said in a new report.
Craig Beyler said the fire investigation in Cameron Todd Willingham’s case didn’t adhere to the standards of care in place at the time.
Willingham, 36, was executed in 2004. He told The Associated Press before his execution that he was innocent.
“The most distressing thing is the state of Texas will kill an innocent man and doesn’t care they’re making a mistake,” he said.
