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.
