Wildfire arsonist guilty of 5 heart attack deaths

Prosecutors charged Fowler with the murders of five men, ranging in age from 54 to 93, who died from heart attacks after their homes burned to the ground or as they rushed to evacuate. Investigators acting on a tip interviewed Fowler several months later but didn't have enough evidence to file charges until six years after the fire, when Fowler was in jail on a burglary conviction. In closing arguments, supervising deputy district attorney Robert Bulloch called Fowler evil and said he knew details about how the fire began that were not revealed to the public. Defense attorney Donald Jordan argued that prosecutors focused on Fowler to the exclusion of other evidence and pointed out witness discrepancies about the model and color of the van seen where the fire started.
