Arson, the criminal act of deliberately setting fire to property, is a serious offense in the State of Florida. The Law Firm of THEAMLAWYER, P.A., with a wealth of experience in handling arson crime defense cases in Orlando and throughout Central Florida, and has a thorough understanding of the intricacies of arson criminal defense.
In Florida, arson is defined as the willful and unlawful damage or attempt to damage any dwelling or structure by fire or explosion. The law distinguishes between first-degree arson, which involves occupied structures or dwellings, and second-degree arson, which pertains to unoccupied or non-residential structures.
The penalties for arson in Florida are severe. First-degree arson is a felony of the first degree, punishable by up to 30 years in prison, while second-degree arson is a felony of the second degree, carrying a penalty of up to 15 years in prison. These penalties reflect the gravity of the offense and the potential harm to human life and property.
To secure a conviction for arson, the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant willfully and unlawfully caused a fire or explosion that resulted in damage to a dwelling or structure. This high standard of proof ensures that only those truly responsible for the crime are convicted.
Defense strategies in arson cases may include demonstrating that the fire was accidental, that the defendant had the authority to start the fire, or that the prosecution lacks sufficient evidence to prove intentional destruction.
