One of the last notable cases of a person falsely accused and sentenced to death is that of Cameron Todd Willingham. He was convicted in 1992 for the arson murder of his three children in Texas, but evidence later suggested that the fire was accidental. Despite his innocence and claims of wrongful conviction, he was executed in 2004. His case has since become a focal point in discussions about the reliability of forensic evidence and the death penalty in the United States.

Why should the death penalty be stopped?

Some people believe that the death penalty should be stopped. This is a give or take issue. An issue with having the death penalty, is being killed when you haven't actually done the crime, which in this day and age, dosen't happen a lot, but when it does is trauma and a name for that person. The death penalty would be good, for people that have done extreme crimes, such as murder, rapings and other misfits of judgements, but also for those who have been wrongly accused this could be a problem.
