Justice on Fire - The Kansas City Firefighters Case and the Railroading of the Marlborough Five

On November 29, 1988, near the Marlborough neighbourhood in Kansas City, an explosion at a construction site killed six firefighters. It was a clear case of arson, and five people from Marlborough were convicted. For crime writer and editor J. Patrick O'Connor, the facts - or a lack of them - didn't add up. This is his account of the explosion that led to the firefighters' deaths and the injustice that followed.
