Former public defender Patrick Wilson brings us one of his all-time favorite trials — a case where his client faced multiple counts of attempted murder and arson, with the state pushing for life without parole. The supposed crime? Accidentally causing a fire in his ex-girlfriend's house.

With sharp advocacy, Patrick dismantled the prosecution's "murder-by-fire" theory and showed the jury that what happened was an accident, not a crime. The result: not guilty on everything.

It's part thriller, part legal clinic, and all the reason you'll be shouting at the end: "How did the state even think this was a case?"
