Here is a quote from a trial regarding accelerants:
"Q: Dr. [Expert], can you give us a percentage of how many arson investigations have an accelerant that you’re able to detect?
A: Studies have shown it’s actually less than 50 percent of all arson fires involve an accelerant.
Q: Your Honor, I have no further questions."
Does anyone know which "Studies" Dr. [Expert] might be referencing?
