A JURY is deliberating on whether the former principal of a remote West Australian school committed two arson attacks at campuses he ran after finding him not guilty of starting one blaze.
John Michael McHale, 50, pleaded guilty to 266 charges of theft and fraud, including using the Meekatharra School of the Air's credit card to buy groceries.
But he fought allegations he burned down the school and its replacement in Geraldton to destroy financial records that would have revealed his dishonesty.
McHale, who was suspended from his job more than three years after the frauds began in early 2006, also denied claims he stole school equipment after several items were found at his home.
Late on Wednesday, a jury found him not guilty of starting the first fire at the Meekatharra school, but is still undecided regarding a subsequent fire at the same school and a later blaze at the Geraldton school, which cost $3.7 million to build.
But it did find him guilty on three counts of stealing as a servant.
The jury will continue its deliberations on Thursday.
