Not saying if this person was innocent or guilty, what I am saying does this not look like presumptive bias. In this show they say the person was charged with arson, however there was no mention of a scene examination being conducted in an effort to determine all potential sources of ignition.

“Morgantown Police Detective Paul Mezzanotte says police initially thought they were dealing with a routine fatal fire. But he says his impressions changed the minute he got to the scene and began watching Shelly”.

"The people that were showing up, they seemed to be more upset than she was. And it was just kind of different when we talked to her that day," he recalls.

The more they talked, the more he was sure this was a "person of interest." Mezzanotte says Shelly "didn't have a reaction" and that he never saw her cry.

"There was something that just kept drawing me to be around her.’Cause something never sat right with me from the beginning of the investigation," he recalls.

And then there was the crime scene itself, with Jimmy's body simply lying on the bed. "When we saw the body, something just stuck out to me that there wasn't something right with this," Mezzanotte explains.

Based on his own testimony, the person investigating the incident made the presumption that the wife was a person of interest because of his hypothesis that her conduct, where she was not as upset as other at the scene. In addition, there were two other factors scientifically supporting his conclusion. The first being, she did not have the reaction he believed she should have to her husband being dead. The next was he did not see her cry. Now he goes into the room where the body was located and sees the body on its back on the bed something was not right.

The following is additional information from the investigating officer.

Det. Mezzanotte says investigators suspected murder from the minute they saw Jimmy's body. "The body looked as if he was asleep. It was like no fire damage I'd ever seen on a body," he says. Mezzanotte says it struck him as "very bizarre." Bizarre, because intense heat normally causes muscles to contract. Not only was Jimmy laying flat on the bed, the healthy 33-year-old man apparently made no effort to escape. "The house was pretty much salvageable, other than just some water and smoke damage. And I thought that was kind of weird," Mezzanotte says.

The medical examination did show he was dead before the fire; however this type of evidence was enough for the investigators to pick this one person and direct all their efforts to prove she was guilty.

This scares me. From the stories on TV and what we have seen as investigators I do not believe there is an presumption of innocence.
