The police have identified Tayeh as the primary suspect after a witness outside the law office testified. According to the witness, Tayeh had been seen near the office, suffering burns while carrying a revolver. Tayeh was also allegedly seen in a location that reeked of gasoline. Tayeh was then convicted of counts of malice murder and arson.
Threat to Lawyers
This murder and arson case on Lewis has definitely shocked the legal community, especially in Lawrenceville. According to the American Bar Association Journal, cases of physical assault on lawyers have been rare. However, they also claimed that surveys from 2018 show that violence against family lawyers was more likely to happen than attorneys from other divisions of law, as reported by Vargas.
