Beyond reasonable doubt

David Grann wrote a brilliant article 'Trial by Fire' in The New Yorker about Cameron Todd Willingham, who was executed for the murder of his daughters through arson.

See also Chicago Tribune (of 9 December 2004).

There is a suggestion that the original evidence may have been incorrect. The state of Texas may well have killed an innocent man.

Surely an argument against capital punishment.
