Description

After nearly three decades, justice is served for Arthur Haines, a thirteen-year-old who died in a house fire during a sleepover. Gregory John Walker, the perpetrator, was sentenced to ten years and nine months in prison for manslaughter. Walker, a former boxer with a criminal history, threw a Molotov cocktail into the house during a neighborhood dispute, causing the fire that trapped Arthur. Despite initial lack of remorse, Walker admitted guilt just before a murder trial. Arthurs mother, Julie Szabo, finally found closure after a long fight for justice, hoping to inspire other grieving parents to keep seeking answers.
