The Willingham case has been making news recently due to some nasty scientific dismantling of the fallacious, if not fraudulent, expert testimony involved in the case (suffice to say the infamous Dr 'Death' James Grigson was an e.w.) The New Yorker has an excellent (if LOOOOONG) article on it.
It's one of the reasons I can't laugh at Ron White's routine about the death penalty in Texas. "Some states are getting rid of the death penalty; my state's putting in an express lane." Well, there are reasons not to rush these things.
