Crime Defined is a series where we break down the law, one crime at a time. Each episode, we start by explaining exactly what a specific crime is — what makes it illegal, how it’s defined under the law, and the consequences for those who commit it. Then, we dive into a real-life case, exploring someone who actually committed that crime, the investigation, and the impact of their actions. Our goal is to make the law understandable and the true crime unforgettable.
Tonight, we’re starting with arson. We’ll explore how arson is investigated, how it’s charged, and why intent and motive matter. Then, we’ll bring it to life by examining the chilling case of John Orr, a fire captain who turned his knowledge of fires into a tool for destruction, becoming one of the most notorious arsonists in United States history. From the investigation to the courtroom, his story shows just how complex and devastating arson can be — and why understanding the law is only part of the picture.
