Gerald Hurst

A scientist and engineer who worked in the field of high explosives, Hurst is best known for his investigation of the Cameron Todd Willingham death penalty case. He was the first investigator to dispute that Willingham had burned down his home and killed his three daughters, and others have since called it into doubt as well. Willingham was executed but Hurst’s testimony has saved a number of other death row inmates.
