If he were, then the issue of negligence or misconduct would possibly have legal relevance (I think) because maybe he could get a new trial or at least a hearing or something. <br /><br />But, I'm pretty sure Willingham isn't going to be asking for a hearing.<br /><br />In this case, there is no issue of whether or not someone they "believe" to be guilty might go free. <br /><br />It seems to me as if they know this, and they know the science is bad, but that looks bad for them, so rather than address the real issues - because that would mean reviewing hundreds of cases of people who are imprisoned, some of whom are probably innocent, based on "non-negligent, non-misconduct" completely bunk science - they are attempting to portray it as if the issue were about negligence and misconduct.<br /><br />I agree with you about the governor - no one has formally addressed whether or not he was negligent or engaged in misconduct by letting Willingham die. He probably has some kind of gubernatorial amnesty anyway...<br /><br />But Willingham is free from them now. Rest in peace, Cameron Todd Willingham.<br /><br />I share your rage, Mr. Gamso.Amynoreply@blogger.com
