I have been a bad blogger - although, I suspect only my wife will have noticed. My computer exploded. It is now being nursed back to health.
Anyway, for my handful of fanatics, here is a piece you ought to read. David Grann explores the case against Cameron Todd Willingham, a man executed for killing his children in a house fire in Texas.
The piece is long, even for the New Yorker. Added to that, you know the outcome. So why is it so compelling? Great reporting. Fact built on fact. Details rendered minutely. The story given permission to develop. This story is the best argument for long-form journalism I have come across in a while.
