And then there's a, there's kind of a backlash because there was a, there was a prison informant that he shared a cell with who's now, who, who testified that this, this Cameron Willingham guy, uh, confessed to the murders, but now it's coming that he actually had been like paid with money and less jail time to testify.
I have a hard time when like in this article that I was reading, it's not in the New Yorker, it's called trial by fire.
I mean, the idea that the state bar accused the prosecutor, they went through the whole thing and then they were like, no, he's not guilty or that didn't happen.
There's a 2010 documentary called Death by Fire from Frontline that I highly recommend that tells the story and it's just this hole you could fall into finding out more info about the case.
