Judge to rule on setting aside waiter arson conviction
A hearing is planned this week on whether to overturn Luis Marin's arson and murder conviction from the Stouffer's Inn fire that killed 26 people in 1980 at the Harrison hotel conference center. Marin, a Guatemalan immigrant, faces up to 26 life terms after nine men and three women convicted him after a six day deliberation. Prosecutors argued Marin had the means and motive, while the defense challenged any direct link. The judge had earlier called the case speculative but allowed the jury to decide due to the gravity of the charges.
