From 1992 Willingham trial, prosecutors alleged that he intentionally set fire to his house to kill her own children. Willingham said he was asleep at home when the fire started and always maintained his innocence. He was convicted on the testimony of forensic experts who said they had determined that the fire was deliberately set, and a jailhouse informant who said Willingham had confessed to him. On October 29, 1992, he was sentenced to death. (Download the entire trial transcript here.)

In 2006, the Innocence Project has officially submitted the case to the Forensic Science Commission of Texas, asking the state agency authorized to launch a full investigation. With Willingham case, the Innocence Project presented information on another fire in Texas, where the same evidence was used to send another man to death penalty. In this case, Ernest Willis was exonerated and released from jail because the forensic evidence was invalid
