Heaven

This episode appears to be based on several separate cases/incidents:

• The 1990 Happy Land Social Club Fire caused by Cuban refugee Julio Gonzalez. On March 25, 1990, Gonzalez poured a gallon of gasoline at the only exit to an illegal Bronx social club, which resulted in the deaths of 87 people. The few who survived jumped through the flames, one of whom was the intended victim of the crime--Gonzalez's girlfriend, Lydia Feliciano.
• The 1980 Denmark Place fire in Central London. The fire, caused by arson, killed 37 people of eight nationalities. Most of the victims were Spanish or Latin Americans, and were patrons of two unlicensed bars in the building. At the time, The Sunday Times said the fire could be "the worst mass murder in British history".
• The 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City.
• The Rudolph Lee case. Winston v. Lee was a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, which held that a compelled surgical intrusion into an individual's body for evidence implicates expectations of privacy and security of such magnitude that the intrusion would be "unreasonable" under the Fourth Amendment, even if likely to produce evidence of a crime.

Branch says that Guerra should be charged with, among others, criminal solicitation in the first degree. Criminal solicitation in the first degree is when a person over the age of 18 solicits, commands, requires or forces a minor under the age of 16 to engage in conduct that would constitute a class A felony. Since both Collins and Guerra are adults then Guerra would be charged with criminal solicitation in the second degree. CS in the first degree is a class C felony, second degree is a class D felony. Since Branch is the District Attorney he should know the difference.
