Mom spared death for fire that killed daughter
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — A woman who set her three young daughters on fire, killing one of them, has been sentenced to life in prison without a chance of parole in a plea deal that spared her the possibility of the death penalty.
Alysha V. Green, 30, pleaded guilty Monday to capital murder and two counts of injury to a child.
She admitted setting the fire because she was angry at her husband, the girls' father.
Green coaxed her daughters into a closet by saying they were playing a game, poured gasoline on them and threw a burning shirt on them, according to documents filed in the case. She then summoned neighbors who pulled the screaming girls from the house, witnesses said.
