Summary
In June 1998, eight year old Robbie Middleton was attacked in the woods behind his Texas neighborhood,. He was then doused in gasoline, and set on fire in what investigators would later describe as one of the most horrifying attacks they had ever seen. Burned over nearly 99 percent of his body, Robbie somehow survived and spent the next thirteen years enduring more than 150 surgeries while the person accused of attacking him remained free. Then just before his death in 2011, Robbie gave a final videotaped statement identifying the person who was responsible and revealed information that changed the entire direction of the case. What followed was a legal battle involving a record breaking civil verdict, a reopened homicide investigation, and a murder trial nearly seventeen years after the fire itself.
