With a little luck

With a little luck, Todd Willingham would not have been on death row. He got the lethal injection in 2004, for murdering his 3 little girls. He kept spreading the word that he was innocent. The people that could have stopped his death sentence, didn't even look into the new documents and Todd Willingham was sentenced to die.
People believed he had set his own house on fire, leaving his 3 innocent children in the house. Todd claimed he did not set the house on fire. He tried to save his children, but he failed. He heard his 2 yo scream for help and he couldn't help her nor the twins. The man was devastated and tried to go back inside, but the smoke and the fire prohibited him from saving his children.
Professionals believed he had set the house on fire and Todd was thrown behind bars. Nobody could save him. His own lawyers didn't believe he was innocent... Five years later, his innocence is proven. Too late for Todd..

Unfortunately, people are still sentenced to death in the US. Sometimes when they are innocent. It's scary..
