Presumably a conviction for arson requires proof beyond reasonable doubt of BOTH that a person started the fire and that they started it deliberately???Originally Posted by Lotz-A-Landies
Some may have had the charge reduced to a lesser offence?

You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

There is also a legal definition for arson that wouldn't be satisfied for a lot of bushfires.
Fire Setting would most likely be the line of charge or something along the lines of reckless use of fire.
