Guy Accused of Burning Down His House Using a Rube Goldberg Type Setup

If they still made Columbo, this would be one of the episodes.

NTDWA- 

Mr Robinson was acquitted after evidential flaws were found with the investigator’s theory, but insrance company IAG remains convinced he set the fire, and has refused to pay out the policy. In August 2016 Mr Robinson, who is in his late 60s, said that almost everything the fire investigator Russell Joseph said during that pre-trial evidential hearing in Whangarei in 2013 was nonsense. He said he was in fact under-insured when his house burnt down, which would make him a pretty lame arsonist. He pointed out that after years of legal battles he was in fact acquitted of the arson charges that were laid against him, and that the Crown had never been able to show that the complicated printer-ignition method actually happened.

  1. I almost burned down a 6.5 million dollar home of a friend of mine. I never used a commercial stove before and the gal of oil got too hot too quick. Fire came out of the huge pot. Luckily the stove had an automatic fire
    suppression system.
