(Huntsville, Texas-AP) -- The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals Tuesday declined to block the scheduled execution of Oklahoma native and convicted killer Cameron Willingham.

The Ardmore native faces lethal injection tonight in Huntsville, Texas, for a 1991 fire that killed his three daughters. The victims were 2-year-old Amber and 1-year-old twins Karmon and Kameron Willingham.

Willingham says he was a lousy husband -- but insists he wasn't responsible for the fire at the family's home that killed the girls.

Willingham would be the seventh condemned killer executed this year in Texas.
