Arson case defense
The Criminal
Defense Association of Michigan presented “Junk Science - How to Defend
an Arson Case” on Friday, September 6, at the Macomb Office of Public
Defender in Mt. Clemens and online via Zoom. Presenting the program was
Marc Fennell (center), an International Association of Arson
Investigators Certified Fire Investigator (IAAI-CFI). Fennell discussed
the 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. On hand to welcome
Fennell were (left to right) CDAM Executive Director Ramona Sain and
Macomb County Bar Association Executive Director Kelly Bennett.
