The record supports the inference that Spain specifically started the arson in a place that would create a high probability of Letendre burning to death. Knowingly, placing someone's life in danger is not an element of arson. Physical injuries constitute an aggravating factor. Letendre suffered burns on his feet, hands, and thighs. Physical injury to a person is not an element of arson.
Psychological injuries constitute aggravating factor.
I am devastated over the whole works. I don't know why she did that. Psychological injury to a person is not an element of arson. Exploitation of a trust relationship between a perpetrator and a victim is an aggravating circumstance. Letendre allowed Spain to live temporarily in his house because she was the mother of his children and in dire economic straits.
