FWIW, I don't think he should have been "Fried," because his intent wasn't to kill anyone. He wanted to stage the fire so he could be a "hero," and enhance his standing with his employer.
It got out of control, and the deaths resulted.
It was involuntary manslaughter, in American jurisprudence, and not "murder."

Fine distinctions, Illbay, but if some would be "hero" accidentally incinerated a member of your family, would you be so circumspect?

In the state of New York, and in most states, that's called 2nd degree murder. I saw a case just like it once.
