Erin's Things Read

For paper two, my favorite article we read was called Trial By Fire. I was very intrigued by the essay. I found myself not wanting to put the papers down until I was finished reading. There was a man named Cameron Todd Willingham. He was accused of killing his two daughters by setting his own house on fire...with the daughters in it. Many arson experts said he was guilty. They even had proof of how he "set the house on fire." Later on, we found out that he was innocent but it was too late. He had already been executed. This ending was very sad and made you feel bad for judging Willingham at the beggening of the essay.
