Point being that the ML, at the time of the fire, had been deceived and lied to by his business partner and his then fiancée (exactly what her business position was, I didn't figure out). The FL and even her uncle admitted that he was also a victim. At the trial, he was found not culpable, yet he still took on all the guilt and responsibility. Most people in his case would have been defensive, and blamed those who deceived him, rather than take responsibility for the victims. Redemption is for people like this; not the Bernie Madoffs and Jeffrey Epsteins of the world.
