The important thing about the arson charge is that it is the only felony for which Crystal was charged. If she just gets convicted with the misdemeanors only, I suspect she'll get sentenced to time served or perhaps a little more. Crystal has previous misdemeanor convictions and they haven't stopped her periodic mayhem. |

At what point, after convicion on previous misdemeanors, does the justice system dictate that perhaps incarceration is necessary? |

Mason: "...at least 3 loads (carrying loads) of clothes." The 3 loads would be capable of producing a fire that would spread, as the case shows. Like I had noted, the amount of clothes would certainly make a difference on what other damage she should have anticipated. Sdsgo: While kpb speculates that a bathtub might be a safe place for an indoor fire, the National Fire Safety folks would take great umbrage with such reasoning. I tried to point out that the tub was the safest place of all or most locations one could start a fire in the house, a spot that would be difficult to use if you were trying to burn the house down. Lopes claimed that Rison had beaten her after a night out, and she set fire to his shoes to get back at him. That case doesn't read like the intent to burn the house down was present. It looks like there may be a hung jury here. Knowing we see prosecutors going overboard to convict people all the time, I'd hope they could lock Crystal up for something. Was she on probation? I hope the best for the children, but the circumstances already look like they have giant hurdles to overcome. We may be reading about crime reports on one or more of them in the future. |

The Crystal Mangum jury has unanimous verdicts on five misdemeanor charges. It’s split 8-4 on the only felony, arson. less than 5 seconds ago via TweetDeck Judge Abe Jones says he will ask the jury how long they have been at 8-4 and if they feel they can make progress. less than 20 seconds ago via TweetDeck Jones says he’ll charge the jury to break the deadlock. “Obviously the court has a strong interest in getting this matter resolved…” less than 10 seconds ago via TweetDeck Jones wants unanimity on arson. “They and us worked on it very hard, so I don’t want to let it go just yet.” half a minute ago via TweetDeck Dexter seeks an exception for the record, which could provide grounds for overturning a guilty verdict on appeals. half a minute ago via TweetDeck Jones is reviewing the instructions that he is about to give the jury. less than 10 seconds ago via TweetDeck Edited by Kerri P., Dec 17 2010, 02:40 PM.
