I’ll be the first to admit that when I hear that a parent or parents escaped a burning house unharmed and all of the kids die, I’m a little suspicious. And when you start watching this movie, that is how you feel.
But there are questions….
And the more you learn, the more you question……
The movie and the case for this episode is: Trial By Fire (2018-2019) movie that I found available for streaming on (Prime Video) and (Hulu). It stars Jack O’Connel, Laura Dern and Emily Meade.
The tragic and controversial story of Cameron Todd Willingham, who was sentenced to death in Texas for killing his three children even after scientific evidence and expert testimony bolstered his claims of innocence
We will cover the movie, the story of what really happened, and the controversy.
