Attorneys for both the prosecution and defense remarked Wednesday on the odd nature of the crime Kathrin Turner pleaded guilty to last month — setting fires at the apartment complex where she worked to scare a resident into moving.
“It’s a bizarre set of facts why the fire was set in the first place,” said Deputy Prosecutor Will Halstead.
Turner, 44, who has no previous criminal history, was sentenced Wednesday to spend 21 months in prison roughly a month after pleading guilty to one count of first-degree arson.
“I’ve never done anything like this before. I’ve never been in trouble before. I’m sorry for what I’ve done,” an emotional Turner said during the hearing.
