ALBANY, N.Y. -- A high profile Schenectady arson case is against a local man has been dropped, according to court documents.

Robert Butler was previously charged in a federal complaint with setting the May 2 fire that killed 33-year-old David Terry, 3-year-old Layah Terry, 2-year-old Michael Terry, and 11-month-old Donavan Duell. Five-years-old Safyre Terry was also badly burned and remained in critical condition for a number of days following the incident.

According to court documents, the defense was granted 45 additional days to prepare its case in October.

The documents go on to explain that the gravity of the crime and potential punishments necessitate further investigation.

Did police disregard vital information in deadly Schenectady fire?
"Although we will not identify any other people as suspects, we can confirm that we conducted a painstakingly thorough investigation over several months," Butler's attorneys, Austin and William T. Easton, said in a statement provided to the Times Union on Saturday. "The evidence that we have uncovered over the last nine months demonstrates that Mr. Butler did not set this fire."

'reasonable doubt'!!
