Whenever I've done interviews about my reporting on the James Carver case, I've pointed out that you can spend as much money as you want prosecuting and jailing people for arson. But if you actually want to prevent deaths, then basic fire safety is what's most important.
While it wasn't the focus of my reporting, one of the reasons the Elliott Chambers Rooming House fire was so deadly (15 killed and more injured) was that the building lacked several key fire-safety features, one of those being an automated sprinkler system.
My latest for @theappeal.org:
James Carver spent 36 years in prison after he was convicted of setting one of the deadliest fires in #Massachusetts history. But after reviewing new scientific evidence, a judge set him free.
“They took my life away for nothing,” Carver said.
