Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida
I have an "attempted" arson charge from 14 years ago and am applying for certain licenses in Florida. However, you are disqualified for certain licencses if your charge was "related to arson". My question is, based on the language, and being that "attempted" arson is a totally different statute than "arson"(806.01) in general, does this qualify or disqualify me from obtaining certain licenses in Florida?

Attempt is generally classified as a modifier to the base charge. So an attempt is the same statute but with 777.04 added on to it. This is not an absolute answer, but I would think that attempted arson would be considered "related to arson". You may need to ask a lawyer who practices administrative law regarding the latter question of licensing.
