The accused was charged with multiple counts of arson and public mischief following a fire that destroyed his truck and damaged adjacent vehicles and a building.
The Crown's case relied on circumstantial evidence, including surveillance videos and the testimony of the accused's former fiancée.
The court found the accused guilty of arson seriously threatening another's property and arson for a fraudulent purpose, concluding he intentionally set fire to his own insured truck.
However, the accused was acquitted of the remaining arson charges because the Crown failed to prove the ownership of the other damaged vehicles.
