1) &quot;Cameron Todd Willingham: Media Meltdown &amp; the Death Penalty: 
&quot;Trial by Fire: Did Texas execute an innocent man?&quot;, by David Grann
http://homicidesurvivors.com/2009/10/04/cameron-todd-willingham-media-meltdown--the-death-penalty.aspx
 
This was written and released prior to the Corsicana Fire Marshall&#039;s report, below:
 
2) EXCLUSIVE: City report on arson probe:
State panel asks for city response in Willingham case
http://www.corsicanadailysun.com/news/local_story_276222736.html
 
3) No Doubts
http://www.corsicanadailysun.com/thewillinghamfiles/local_story_250180658.html
 
For a collection of articles, go to:  
 
Corsicana Daily Sun, The Willingham Files
http://www.corsicanadailysun.com/thewillinghamfiles
 
OTHER REPORTS: There is the potential for, at least, 3 more, official, reports on this case: the Texas Fire Marshall&#039;s office, which will give an official and requested reply, the Corsicana Police Dept. and Navarro County District Attorney&#039;s office, both of which, I speculate, may only contribute to the TFM report, but could issue their own reports.
 
There is an official &quot;report&quot; which, it appears, few have paid attention to - the trial transcript.  
 
I find that rather important because, at least five persons, who were involved with the trial, the prosecutor, defense attorney, two surviving fire investigators and a juror have all voiced support for the verdict, still, in the light of the criticism of the arson forensics. 
 
One of those original fire investigators is, now, an active certified arson expert.

		<description>My preconceived choice was the piece on Montaigne (&quot;Me, Myself and I&quot; by Jane Kramer, but I was left somewhat unsatisfied by the article as if the author couldn&#039;t quite figure out what she wanted to say.  In the end, the article you chose is the most compelling and important of this issue.  It&#039;s one that you can&#039;t stop pondering.</description>
