How to defend an arson case when the prosecution’s public fire investigator uses bad science and negative corpus to charge a person with an arson-related crime. Attendees will develop an appreciation for effective use, benefits, and limitations of defensive strategies including the preparation for trial, questioning a public fire investigator on the stand, fire investigative compliance with NFPA 921, and using NFPA 1033 against the fire investigator.
