Science and evidence and capital crime

Cameron Todd Willingham, Texas, and the death penalty : The New Yorker

Somebody linked to this a couple of weeks ago and I just got around to reading it. This is a fantastic piece of journalism. I feel guilty that I didn’t have to pay for it – it’s that good. I’m imagining the scheming going on to turn this into a movie and I’m not sure how I feel about that. Movies are generally terrible. And yet, everybody should know about this. Oh well, nevermind, read it now or save it for later like I did. And link to it.
