Judge Jeffrey Karp’s recent ruling for a new trial for James Carver emphasizes recent advancements in fire science and eyewitness identification that could impact the case.
Essex District Attorney Paul Tucker expressed deep disagreement with the ruling, citing strong evidence against Carver, including motive, threats, and multiple admissions of guilt.
The tragic fire at the Elliott Chambers rooming house in Beverly on July 4, 1984, killed 15 individuals, with victims ranging from a 9-year-old to adults.
Carver has consistently maintained his innocence and has been imprisoned for the past 34 years following his 1989 conviction for the horrific Beverly fire.
