AUSTIN — Nine days before Cameron Todd Willingham was to be executed for setting a house fire that killed his three daughters, his ex-wife called her family together to tearfully recount a conversation with the condemned prisoner, according to a newly released statement from Willingham's former brother-in-law.
“She stated that after visiting with him for about 1 hour and 45 minutes, he told her that he had set the fire because he knew that she was going to leave him,” said the brother of Stacy Kuykendall, Willingham's ex-wife.
The affidavit was one of two released by Corsicana city officials in the Willingham case this week and seemingly contradicts Willingham's claims of innocence in the deaths of his children. The statements were first reported Thursday in the Corsicana Daily Sun and later obtained by the Star-Telegram.
The whole article is just facts, not brazen editorialization. Good facts.
Stacy Kuykendall has DENIED this on NUMEROUS occasions. The facts are out there, yes. You just need to put some effort into finding them. Willingham did meet with her before he died. He never, ever confessed. And she never, ever claimed he did.
ReplyDeleteSo you've now got hearsay about hearsay, and you're using THAT to justify ignoring the forensic evidentiary problems with the case? Jeez, the Perry Patrol is losing its grip on reason.

Ms. Kuykendall never said Willingham confessed.
