John Orr's Death in the Ollie's Fire

In 1998, the jury spared John Orr's life when they were deadlocked eight to four in favour of sentencing him to death.

In addition to 21 years for the fires that damaged or destroyed dozens of homes around Glendale. Judge Robert Perry: 'The enormity of the defendant's crimes should not be understated'
