Willingham Execution

Willingham was executed in 2004 for being accused for killing his children. Willingham's family members claimed that he was innocent due to the weak evidence that was pulled from the fire. With the Texas Forensic Science Commission pushed reviews of other Texas conviction, they discussed the unprepared and weak investigation technique. Without the full investigation on Willingham, he did not get an equal trial which then concludes that he was sentenced to death.

This jury trial could have been easily been prevented by giving Willingham a better investigation and more reasonable trial. By continuing the justice system that has been witnessed today, many innocent men can be accused for the wrong matter without a strong investigation and evidence. This solution to this problem in our justice system is a test to justify the jury's knowledge and qualification to represent rights.  

To help each trial being fair, each jury foreman should follow the amendments and give citizens an equal trial. Let the citizens to prove their innocence and let them be heard
