Problem:
The case of Cameron Todd Willingham is one that is riddled with overwhelming concern, forensic inquiry, assumptions of guilt, and errors in scientific investigation. Questions still surface that Willingham was wrongfully executed and should have been exonerated.
You are assigned to develop a Memorandum to succinctly identify and debate the myths and facts of the Willingham case for your supervisor. Your submission should be four pages in length, consisting of the following areas:
1. Explore the post-conviction rights and strategies that are employed to appeal a conviction after sentencing.
2. Describe the challenges associated with filing an appeal from death row and identify the mitigating factors in securing legal representation.
3. After assessing the myths and facts of the Willingham case, debate whether you believe he was wrongfully convicted and executed or if you believe that justice was served. Be sure to substantiate your claims.
4. Integrate a Christian worldview perspective to frame and support your approach and findings in deciphering if justice was served.
Your Memorandum does not need to be in APA formatting, but you should provide at least three scholarly references and include in-text citations in your submission. References will be on a reference page at the end of your assignment, and no title page is required. References at the end.
