I've just spent the last ~~half hour~~ hour and a half reading this linked article about Todd Willingham that was referenced at the end of the posted article.

I cannot fucking believe how horrid the justice system in Texas is. You couldn't pay me to live there. And quite frankly at this point I don't think I feel safe visiting such a place.

Edit: I had not realized how exactly long it had taken to read that article. It's not a short read.
