Sifting the Ashes Fall 2020 issue is up

The Fall 2020 issue of Sifting the Ashes is now available at my website www.firescientist.com. For direct subscribers, check your inbox.
This issue contains a link to my latest article, published in the LMU Law review in August, wherein I “give away my playbook.” Readers who take the advice to heart may be able to avoid embarrassing challenges to their qualifications to investigate fires.
There are links to a retrospective review of the 1980 Stauffer’s Inn fire, a new case from the Third Circuit wherein an expert claims to have worked 400 fires a year for 30 years (and judges believed him!), and a new book on “no crime” wrongful convictions, Smoke but No Fire.
This issue’s case study describes a 2018 case where an arson charge based on three areas of origin was dismissed after a fourth area of origin was discovered.
As always, readers’ comments are welcome.
