Texas Forensic Commission Eyes Report on Willingham Fire
The Texas Forensic Science Commission moves forward with a report on the 1991 Willingham arson case despite unclear authority since the commission began in 2005. The panel questions jurisdiction over pre 2005 investigations and accrediting bodies, while noting the complex, politically charged history surrounding Willingham’s execution and earlier fire analyses. The next meeting is in April as officials seek guidance from the Attorney General.
