On Friday May 7, ABC broadcasted a 20/20 investigation into faulty arson prosecutions. It highlighted a famous arson investigator, John Lentini, who is on a mission to re-teach arson investigators about the “truths” of tell-tale signs. I heard him speak at a seminar on Actual Innocence in 2009. In a word – shocking. Nearly every arson “red flag” has been disproven by Lentini and other investigators. But what is most disturbing is that these same red flags are still being used by local arson investigators to arrest and convict people.
The 20/20 episode is available on-line at http://abc.go.com/watch/2020/166626/260464/fire-scientist-questions-arson-finding
