VIDEO: A Harford County woman convicted of setting a town home on fire, killing four people, was sentenced to life in prison Tuesday.
Bobbie Sue Hodge was convicted of setting a deadly fire to a three-story Edgewood house along Simons Ct. back on May 9, 2019 around 2:30 a.m.
Three people on the top floor did not survive. The victims were Ernest Lee, Dionne Hill and Kimberly Shupe. Another third-floor resident jumped from a window to escape and suffered broken bones.
A fourth victim, Mary Kennedy, was rescued by firefighters from the second floor.
Fire officials reported at the time that she suffered burns to more than 70 percent of her body.
8 months later, Kennedy died from her injuries.
Shortly after the fire, WJZ spoke with Hodge.
"I burst into tears. I started praying for the people who perished," claimed Hodge.
