 CLEVELAND €  A former drug dealer was found guilty on Friday at 
 his retrial in the 2005 arson deaths of a woman and eight 
 children at a birthday sleepover € the city's deadliest house 
 fire. 
  
 A U.S. District Court jury handed down the verdict in the case 
 against 30-year-old Antun Lewis in the fire in an impoverished 
 Cleveland neighborhood. Lewis also was convicted in the first 
 trial. 
  
 Defense attorneys said Friday they believe the enormous tragedy 
 overshadowed the evidence in the case. 
  
 "We truly believe that the charges in this case were so 
 horrific, with the deaths of the children and the mother, that 
 the community wanted to hold someone responsible, in spite of 
 what the evidence showed," attorney Angelo Lonardo said, 
 according to The Plain Dealer. 
  
 The prosecution didn't immediately respond to a message seeking 
 comment after the verdict. 
  
 Judge Solomon Oliver, who presided at both trials, ordered the 
 second trial, agreeing with the defense that the government had 
 used unreliable jailhouse informants. 
  
 The defense said the informants' testimony was prompted by money 
 paid by the government € one man got more than $20,000 over 
 several years € or the prospect of leniency in their own 
 criminal cases. 
  
 The fire killed 33-year-old Medeia Carter, four of her children 
 and four other youngsters attending a birthday sleepover party 
 on May 21, 2005. 
  
 The children were celebrating Moses Williams Jr.'s 14th 
 birthday. More than 4,000 people attended their funerals at 
 Cleveland's convention center. 
  
 Authorities say Lewis, upset over a drug debt, doused the three- 
 story building's first floor with gasoline. 
  
 Lewis, a convicted drug dealer who knew some of the victims, 
 denied wrongdoing and said he was home several blocks away when 
 the fire started before dawn. 
  
 Lewis was charged in federal court because the government 
 subsidized the lease on the house where the fire occurred. 
  
 He was deemed ineligible for the death penalty because of a 
 mental disability. Evidence presented by the defense showed that 
 he has an IQ of about 70 or less, meaning he falls within the 
 range of mild mental disability.

 For all you assbags who think blindly voting Democrat just 
 because you always have, this black ignorance is your legacy. 
  
 Remind the racists at the DOJ about this black crime against 
 humanity the American liberal biased media has attempted to 
 obfuscate.
