While Joshua Komisarjevsky maintains that co-defendant Steven Hayes was the one who poured gasoline around the Petit home and also was the one to light the match, the state has an expert witness who testified that Komisarjevsky had gasoline on his clothing when he was arrested near the scene of the Cheshire home invasion.

Hayes was convicted last year in the triple homicide, although he was acquitted of the arson charge. He is on death row.

Jack Hubball, a chemical analyst for the state forensics lab, testified his tests showed the boots, pants and sweatshirt Komisarjevsky was wearing.
