Points of Truth

By John Orr

John Orr, once a celebrated Fire Captain and lead arson investigator for the Glendale Fire Department, is now notoriously labeled "the most prolific serial arsonist of the 20th century." In Points of Truth, Orr breaks his silence to provide a definitive account of his life-from his formative years in mid-century Los Angeles to the pinnacle of his forensic career.

More than a memoir, this fast-paced text is a legal expos . For the first time, Orr discloses troubling evidence of prosecutorial misconduct, alleging that vital proof was concealed prior to his 1992 trial. Points of Truth reveals the existence of physical evidence and DNA proof-which he fears has been destroyed-that could potentially exonerate him and rewrite the history of one of California's most infamous criminal cases.
