Points of Interest: Mike Small (who seemed all smiles when I passed by him on Jackson Street a few hours ago) relied on the testimony of three expert witnesses to explain how the investigation was botched from the beginning. The evidence was destroyed the next day when the house was razed. The State's "theory" about how the fire spread did not account for how the children died. One witness called this the worst fire investigation he'd ever seen. Another explained that the State's theory about what caused the fire was based on an old wives tale.
