Career Advancement by Lethal Injection: Prosecutor Lies to Execute Willingham, Becomes Judge

[laserhaas]

Have you ever heard or read about the man (Cameron Todd Willingham) whom Texas Governor Rick Perry allowed to be put to death for his reported arson that resulted in the death of his 3, very young - little girls? Those of U.S. who tried to save Cameron from execution had become well aware of the issues about the jail house informant and junk forensic science that was (reportedly) the sole reasons for Willingham's conviction and subsequent execution.

Or so we thought!

Turns out there are other reasons, besides the one (criminal) bogus "forensic specialist" - simply making up stuff - so he could get paid for his "expert" testimony when prosecutors sought a conviction. It is now been revealed that the Navarro County District Attorney (John Jackson) intentionally deceived the Parole Board, to assure Cameron Todd Willingham would be executed.

In my opinion that is murder!

In my 2nd stage in life, with a new founded career of battling against injustice, there's not many stories that go far beyond my vex mode of anger, straight into instant sadness and the swelling of tears; except for the case of Cameron Todd Willingham.

Picture yourself being on death row. There are many guys (and sometimes a gal) all hoping to escape the grim reaper by claiming they are innocent. Some shot policeman. Others are sociopaths. Others had robberies go wrong and result in homicide. Then there's people who hired hitmen instead of seeking divorce. He you are among them - waiting execution; because everyone knows your the monster who burned your kids to death by arson.

Except for the fact - Cameron really didn't do it!

Advancing One's Career via State Sponsored Murder

Prosecutor Jackson, who is now a judge, is now publicly documented to have lied to the Board of Pardon and Paroles, to assure the execution of Willingham would take place. The only thing decent about Governor Perry, is his remarks that Romney was unelectable. Outside of that, I've much disdain for Governor Rick Perry who also did his part to make sure Cameron Todd Willingham was Executed!

There's a documentary about the case - with a trailer upon Youtube (below);
and here's what the film makers state;


In 1991, Cameron Todd Willingham's three daughters died in a Corsicana, Texas house fire. Tried and convicted for their arson murders, Willingham was executed in February 2004 despite overwhelming expert criticism of the prosecution's arson evidence. Today, Willingham's name has become a call for reform in the field of forensics and a rallying cry for the anti-death penalty movement; yet he remains an indisputable "monster" in the eyes of Texas Governor Rick Perry, who ignored the science that could have saved Willingham's life. Equal parts murder mystery, forensic investigation and political drama, INCENDIARY documents the haunted legacy of a prosecution built on "folklore."

Background of the entire case

Here's my orange realm 2011 story titled; "Political Murder 101 - The Lethal Injection of Innocents"

It references earlier reports, transcripts and such that can be found at the Innocence Projects article;
"Cameron Todd Willingham Wrongfully Convicted & Executed in Texas".


Here's the NEW - Innocence Project story on the Smoking Gun proof the DA lied to assure the execution;
"New Evidence Suggestions Willingham Prosecutor Deceived Board of Pardons and Paroles"

There's more good commentary, videos and discussions on Professor Turley's Blog

Yours truly worked this case, the Kelly Thomas case, Troy Ray Davis, Trayvon Martin and others. They all seem to have the common elements of abuse of authority to assure state sponsored murder - regardless of the evidences. It breaks my heart to my groin that we didn't get any justice in any of those cases.

But it makes me happy that I can now pursue impeaching a judge and campaigning against Perry!

I'll end this with the note that - perhaps - Cameron Todd Willingham went to the great beyond, having 13 years to always feel guilty that his girls suffered and died, even though it was not his fault. Willingham went to his fate, probably welcoming the end of it all. His remarks stay with me to this very day.

Cameron Todd Willingham's 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.”
