Press Reaction

Mike Hale, The New York Times

“The report, ‘Death by Fire,’ on Tuesday night is polished, persuasive and restrained — hallmarks of the ‘Frontline’ ethos. … [it] gives faces and voices to the key players on both sides. … The nearly 20-year-old case comes to life, wrenchingly. … In the current news climate, it’s one way to stand out.”

David Barron, The Houston Chronicle

“Frontline takes aim at hot-button issues … switching into CSI mode … detail[ing] the politically charged prosecution, conviction and execution of Cameron Todd Willingham.”
