Hi Red,

Excellent that they got the perp and they got him solid or else they would not have taken the risk of charging him with the Esperanza.

Riverside County jury orders death for arsonist

Raymond Lee Oyler, 38, had been convicted of killing five firefighters in the 2006 Esperanza blaze.

March 19, 2009
Reporting from Riverside -- After barely a day of deliberation, a Riverside County jury on Wednesday returned a verdict of death for Raymond Lee Oyler for starting the 2006 Esperanza fire in the foothills of the San Jacinto Mountains that killed five firefighters, destroyed 34 homes and charred more than 41,000 acres.

Firefighters and the families of the victims hailed the decision and said it offered a measure of justice for a crime they said had torn a hole in the fabric of their lives.
