Condemned Ohio man claims innocence in arson death

A death row inmate convicted of starting a fire that killed his 3-year-old son says new arson science backs up his claim of innocence.

Michael Webb is trying to stop his execution, scheduled for next month. He's seeking mercy from the Ohio governor, saying a leading arson expert can prove the 1990 fire could have been set anywhere in the house, and not just near a closet or bathroom.

Webb's attorneys made their plea Tuesday morning to the Ohio Parole Board, which will make its recommendation to Gov. John Kasich, who has the final say, next week.
