Jury finds Marian Williams guilty in the death of 3 children in an arson fire

Marian Williams has been found guilty of the first degree by a jury in the death of three children in an arson fire.

Day five of the trial for 49-year-old Williams got underway at 9 a.m. Friday and wrapped up at 2:15, with deliberations lasting just over two hours.

Williams was found guilty on three counts of first-degree murder; two counts of attempted first-degree murder; arson; and burglary of an occupied dwelling.

Williams showed no emotions as the verdict was read. As for the community where the young boys once played, emotions run high and a gaping hole is still in their hearts. Neighbors in Arcadia say the pain of losing these kids will never go away.
