Cameron Todd Willingham was arrested and sent to death row for committing arson; however, researchers reviewing the evidence find that he was likely innocent after all.

Jesus, this is rough. The article is from 2009. Did anything else ever come of this?

The Innocent Man, by Pamela Colloff
On August 13, 1986, Michael Morton came home from work to discover that his wife had been brutally murdered in their bed. His nightmare had only begun.

Another Texas-hosed-up-prosecutor story.

More good stuff from Texas Monthly. I did a little light Googling and found a couple follow-up articles as well. Not longforms, per se, but they help to provide a little closure.

Here and here. Don't read these until you finish both of the first ones, though.
