The home was not damaged and police said the fire was extinguished upon their arrival.
Wright is charged with second degree attempted arson.
Justice Condon (fourth floor of the courthouse) will call the court calendar at 9:30 am.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. Defendants are entitled to a fair trial with the burden on the prosecution to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
