Forensic panel to investigate questionable science

IRVING – A state panel decided Friday to move ahead with the investigation of the questionable arson science that contributed to the conviction and execution of Cameron Todd Willingham.

The Texas Forensic Science Commission created a four-member panel to take charge of the review of the Willingham case, which has become part of the national debate on the death penalty. Opponents believe Willingham, who was executed in 2004, was innocent.

  1. Anyone who believes that all committee meetings of the Texas Forensic Science Commission should be public and not private, secret closed door meetings, should write commission Chair John Bradley and other Commission members urging them to make the meetings public and to post notices on the Commission website of when and where the subcommittee meetings will take place.
