Arsonist or Patsy
Arson or Accident ?
24-year-old Antun Lewis of Cleveland is being blamed for the deadliest house fire in the city's history. Lewis is accused breaking into a multifamily home on Cleveland East side and pouring gas on its floor and then torching it before 3 a.m. on May 21, 2005, during a sleepover.
Eight children and one adult, Medeia Carter, died from smoke inhalation. For three years we have been trying to get to the bottom of this tragedy and while we wish for "closure" for the families we are not sure if this prosecution is justice or a modern day lynching.
