John Orr Pled Not Guilty to the Tascadero and Los Angeles Fires

The Pillow-Pyro task force was busy putting together the next case against John Orr. He was charged with eight further counts of arson, the three that occurred in a Tascadero during the Pacific Grove arson conference in 1989 and five in the Los Angeles retail spree of late 1990 and early 1991. By this point, John's lawyer convinced this client that offering a plea deal was in his best interest. On May 12, 1993, John or pled guilty to the three counts of arson that caused the least damage of the lot, two in aTascadero and one in Los Angeles.
