Fire expert disputes prosecution testimony in
Scott murder trial
Senior Reporter
RUSSELLVILLE - Two fire experts called to
testify by the defense in the capital murder trial of Christie Bray
Scott gave opinions that the fire blamed for the death of
Christie’s six-year-old son Mason Scott had not been deliberately
set, but rather traced to an accidental cause--that being at a TV
cabinet, contradicting earlier testimony by fire experts and
investigators called to testify by the prosecution.
Fire expert, engineer Doug Carpenter and John
Lentina of Scientific Fire Analysis testified a day apart during the
fourth week of what has been officially termed the longest running
trial of any sort ever in Franklin County. Scott faces an indictment on
three alternative counts of capital murder for allegedly setting the
bedroom fire that killed her son Aug. 16, 2008, at the Scott residence
at 180 Signore Drive.
Christie Bray Scott talks with her mom, Kathy, and
husband Jeremy during a break in the trial.
Representative Aderholt presented with the U.S.
Chamber’s Annual Spirit of Enterprise Award
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce honored Representative Robert B. Aderholt (R-AL-04) with the
Spirit of Enterprise Award for his support of pro-growth legislation
during the second session of the 110th Congress.
“Last year in particular, Congress had to
make some tough choices, and Representative Aderholt clearly
demonstrated his commitment to the economy and keeping America
competitive in an ever-changing global market,” said Thomas J.
Donohue, president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber. “The Chamber is
proud to present Representative Aderholt with the Spirit of Enterprise
Award on behalf of businesses large and small.”
Eligibility for the award is based on how members
of Congress vote on key business issues, which the Chamber outlines in
its yearly publication How They Voted. These designated “key
votes” are recorded floor votes on issues established as
priorities on which the Chamber communicates its position prior to the
vote. Those members of Congress who support the Chamber’s
position on at least 70% of those votes receive the Spirit of
Enterprise Award.

Chamber of Commerce President Thomas J. Donohue.
