FIRE! a Christmas horror

[Midwest Spy]

From the UK Daily Mail a similar report & more from Richard Emery, Lawyer for Matthew Badger.


Mr Emery has put the blame on Michael Borcina. The papers claim he was the contractor in charge of the renovations at the Victorian home and is also said to have put smoldering ashes from the fireplace into a trash can, which fire officials say was the cause of the fire.
The lawyer told the Post: 'That fact is that Borcina was the contractor on the job. He was aware of the dangers, or should have been aware of dangers, that a civilian would have been unaware of.
'The fact that kids were living in this house was unbelievable...I don’t hold Madonna Badger responsible for that at all because I can’t imagine she would have understood the immediacy of the dangers.'
He also cited the actions of the Stamford Buildings Department to have the $1.7million home knocked down the day after the fire, saying it was an 'outrageous' act, after they claimed it was a public-safety hazard.
He said it 'raises all kinds of very serious suspicions that the house was destroyed...before anybody with expertise outside the city of Stamford was called in, [such as] insurance experts, State Police experts'.

The fact is, Borcina looked like a very arrogant prick at the funerals. He should not have been there, at least not front and center.

I hope he ends up losing every dime he has.

If he also serves some jail time, that'd be great too.
