Hoppe, in Irving, reports:
AUSTIN – The Texas Forensic Science Commission goes under the microscope today when it takes up how to proceed with a case of questionable arson that contributed to the conviction and execution of Cameron Todd Willingham.
The meeting in Irving will be the first since last year to discuss actual cases in which discredited science might have crept into trials. The Willingham case was dismantled two days before a critical meeting in October, when Gov. Rick Perry upended the commission by replacing key members, including the chairman.
