For Star subscribers: The Pima County attorney chose not to exonerate Louis Taylor in the deadly 1970 Pioneer Hotel fire because her legal career was threatened, a sworn affidavit from a surprising source alleged.
Tim Steller On May 28, 2022, Pima County Attorney Laura Conover composed a news release announcing the exoneration of Louis Taylor, who was convicted for setting the 1970 Pioneer Hotel fire.Then on Aug. 3, she wrote another news release announcing she would not exonerate Taylor, sounding equally convinced of the opposite decision.
Trasoff wrote two affidavits for two separate cases involving Louis Taylor in recent weeks, both about her work on the May, 2022 news release announcing the exoneration. Her statement earlier this week, after Trasoff's affidavit was filed in Pima County Superior Court, was this: His conviction has long been a cause célèbre around Arizona — considered dubious because of an investigator's racism, questionable investigative techniques and doubts that the fire was caused by arson at all.
Family, lawyers told of planned exonerationOver Memorial Day weekend, 2022, Conover and her team had reached a conclusion and were preparing to announce the exoneration. Indeed, Conover went so far as to alert Taylor's lawyers and some victims' family members that she planned to exonerate Taylor. Then suddenly over that weekend, plans changed. She decided not to proceed with exoneration the next week.
