Join New Yorker's David Grann in a Live Online Chat
Posted: September 2, 2009 1:40 pm
David Grann’s thorough investigation of the Cameron Todd Willingham case in this week’s New Yorker is the strongest case on record that an innocent person has been executed since capital punishment was reinstated. The story has also heightened attention and dialogue about the death penalty and the reliability of forensic science.
Grann investigated the story for nearly a year, and he will take questions from readers today about the process, the case and what it means in the context of the criminal justice system today.
UPDATE: Read the transcript of the live chat here.
