The case often rests on fire science, which can be challenged. <b><br \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Common defences include:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>No intent to cause harm.<\/b> If the fire was an accident, the Crown cannot prove the case.<\/li>\n<li><b>Mistaken identity.<\/b> A strong alibi can raise doubt about who started the fire.<\/li>\n<li><b>A Charter breach.<\/b> If police withheld evidence or improperly took a statement, the charge could be reduced or dropped.<\/li>\n<li><b>Lawful excuse.<\/b> This applies if you truly believed you had the right to act as you did.<\/li>\n<li><b>Not criminally responsible due to a mental disorder.<\/b> This is hard to prove, and it leads to a different result than a not guilty verdict.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We work with independent fire experts to check burn patterns and challenge the investigation. We also gather security footage and witness statements to build your defence.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-8\"><h2>What happens during and after an arrest for arson in Toronto?<\/h2>\n<p>Fire investigators usually start at the scene. They gather physical evidence while police talk to witnesses and look for a motive. Once they identify a cause and a suspect, police either make an arrest or obtain a warrant.<\/p>\n<p>If you are arrested, you will be taken to a nearby police station. Police will take your fingerprints and photo. If they do not release you, they must bring you to court for a bail hearing within 24 hours.<\/p>\n<h3>What happens at court?<\/h3>\n<p>Adult bail hearings in Toronto are held at the Toronto Regional Bail Centre on Finch Avenue West. Some hearings are held by video link from a detention centre instead.<\/p>\n<p>From there, your case moves through several steps. This includes your bail hearing, your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strategiccriminaldefence.com\/toronto\/election-and-plea\/\">election and plea<\/a>, and, if needed, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strategiccriminaldefence.com\/toronto\/trial-process\/\">trial<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Most Toronto criminal cases, including arson trials, are heard at the Ontario Court of Justice on Armoury Street. Your Strategic Criminal Defence lawyer can guide you through each step and appear with you at every court date.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-9\"><h2>How can a Strategic Criminal Defence arson lawyer help you?<\/h2>\n<p>We get involved early, often before charges are laid. We know what evidence matters most in arson cases, including cases tied to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strategiccriminaldefence.com\/toronto\/fraud-lawyers\/\">insurance fraud<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Our team hires outside fire experts. We gather security footage and look for problems in how evidence was collected. We also talk with the Crown when that helps you. Dylan Finlay and his team regularly challenge police evidence in Toronto courts. That experience helps when we challenge a fire investigation.<\/p>\n<h3>Can an arson charge be resolved without a criminal record?<\/h3>\n<p>Programs like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontario.ca\/document\/crown-prosecution-manual\/d-4-community-justice-programs-for-adults\">Direct Accountability Program<\/a> can resolve smaller arson cases without a conviction, which results in no criminal record. Arson is usually a serious offence, so options are more limited than for many other, less serious crimes. <b><br \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Sometimes, we may be able to discuss:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strategiccriminaldefence.com\/toronto\/peace-bond\/\">A peace bond<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strategiccriminaldefence.com\/toronto\/alternative-measures-program\/\">Alternative Measures Program<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strategiccriminaldefence.com\/toronto\/mental-health-diversion\/\">Mental Health Diversion Program<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>A negotiated withdrawal or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strategiccriminaldefence.com\/toronto\/discharge\/\">discharge<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whether you qualify depends on your case.
