CHESTER, Ill. (AP) — A man who pleaded guilty to setting a house fire last year in southwestern Illinois that killed four children has been sentenced to 53 years in prison.
The (Carbondale) Southern Illinoisan (http://bit.ly/1ujM83g) reports that 34-year-old Derrick Twardoski was sentenced Friday — two months after he and Randolph County prosecutors reached an agreement that called for him to plead guilty to one of the four counts of first-degree murder.
