Cameron Todd Willingham
Trial by Fire is a documentary film that looks at the controversial case of Cameron Todd Willingham. It stars Jack O’Connell as Willingham and Laura Dern as Elizabeth Gilbert. The movie is loosely base on the true story of the Texas man, who was convicte of burning his three children to death in 1991.
A 2009 investigative report drew attention to the Willingham case. The report said that the original claims of arson were flawed. However, the forensic evidence gathered at the scene showed multiple points of origin for the fire.
The prosecution claimed that Willingham was a violent sociopath who had no regard for other people’s safety. They also pointed to his history of spousal abuse.
The defense said that the only reason Willingham was convicte was because of false testimony and a lack of science. Two medical experts were brought in to testify. One was a psychologist who had never published any research on sociopathic behavior.
Stacey (Willingham) Kuykendall
Stacy Kuykendall is the mother of three young daughters. She is now a freelance writer. Her Facebook page claims that her children were panisse by their father. The movie version of Willingham portrays her as a villain.
When Stacy Kuykendall married Cameron Todd Willingham, she thought he was innocent. In a 2009 interview with The New Yorker, Kuykendall said Willingham never confessed.
But she was wrong. After Willingham was convicted and sentence to death, a number of experts dismissed his innocence. Even the chief arson expert in the world, Dr. Gerald Hurst, ruled that Willingham was not guilty.
The Texas Forensic Science Commission is going to re-examine the case of Cameron Todd Willingham. The commission will look at 20 indicia of arson, including the burning of books and pictures, as well as a fire that appeared to have been set by accident.
In the film, Stacy Kuykendall makes her feelings about her former husband clear. While she believed Willingham was guilty, she changed her mind after her divorce.
Johnny Webb
Trial by Fire is an adaptation of David Grann’s investigative report in The New Yorker. It examines the claims that Cameron Todd Willingham was innocent of burning his three children to death. However, prosecutors allege that Willingham did intentionally set fire to the house. Despite his pleas of innocence, he was convicte and execute.
Johnny Webb was a key witness in the Willingham case. Webb testified that Willingham admitted to setting fire to the house. He also said that Willingham confessed to using lighter fluid to start the fire.
But Webb later recanted his testimony and claimed that Willingham’s testimony was false. Jackson, the prosecutor, also noted that Webb was unreliable.
In 2004, a study showed that jailhouse informants are one of the most common causes of wrongful convictions in capital cases in the United States. Michael Jackson has been criticize for assisting his friend Webb in gaining early parole from prison.
Jackson has since stated that he never offered Webb any reduction of his sentence for giving false testimony. Yet, the Innocence Project claims that Jackson lied to get Webb a lighter sentence.
