This article was about a man (Dennis Counterman) who supposedly set fire to his house to kill his family. He denies ever trying to set the fire. It was said that there have been a history of fires at that house. That the kids set fire to it times before on accident when playing with matches or lighters. When the fire started, he tried to put it out but the flames and smoke made him have to evacuate. Not being able to get to his family, he was screaming and crying. They gave him the death penalty saying that he was tired of a family life so he set the fire to kill them. He knew he was innocent but they didn't believe him, being the only one not killed or severely injured. Dennis Counterman still remains in prison accepting nothing but his freedom.
I just typed in "A case of injustice" into Google and it was the first one that came up. But I picked it after I looked at some other ones(:
