Alex Sawyer has received a 30-year prison sentence for setting a fire to a two-story building in Kankakee that resulted in the deaths of two young brothers in April 2016. The 65-year-old Sawyer agreed to plead guilty last April to one count of first-degree murder. He entered a blind plea, allowing Judge Kathy Bradshaw-Elliott to determine his sentence. He must serve 100 percent of the sentence. On Tuesday, Sawyer learned his fate from Bradshaw-Elliott. Crystal Ward’s two sons — 4-year-old Justice Stewart and 2-year-old JuShaun Watson — died a few days after they were pulled from the second story by rescue personnel on April 13, 2016.
