![Riddle had not interviewed any of the witnesses, had not reviewed many of the photos and videos of the blaze starting and had no empirical evidence to support his theory, said Babrauskas, an Arizona researcher and consultant in fire safety science. Moreover, Babrauskas wrote in a report filed in court, an ember would not have smoldered as long as Riddle hypothesized it had in the brisk wind conditions present before the fire started. "The flaws [in Riddle's report] are deep, systematic, and pervasive," Babrauskas wrote. "It appears that Mr. Riddle early on decided to try to prove Mr. Scott Carrier to be a guilty party, and pursued his investigation on the basis of this bias." Another expert witness did a separate assessment of the fire's origin and identified potential ignition points that were not on Carrier's property, his attorney, Jim Bradshaw, said. On Monday, a hearing was scheduled where Bradshaw planned to ask the judge to disqualify Riddle's report. Instead, the charges were dismissed.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:svawqo4jxobyyuqmixplvcux/bafkreibiwg62agae2a5j6dr4hvb4izrcv26hg3bf3dywlhjcvvfza7cysq)
