NEW HAVEN >> After hearing from the relatives of the victims of a New Haven fatal arson, a judge on Thursday sentenced the man convicted of acting as the getaway driver to 174 months — which amounts to 14½ years — in prison.
Three people died in the March 9, 2011, Wolcott Street fire, including Wanda Roberson, 42, her 8-year-old son Quayshaun Roberson, and her 21-year-old niece Jaqueeta Roberson.
Lynn Roberson, Wanda’s sister, told U.S. District Court Judge Janet Bond Arterton the family has had to seek professional help to deal with grief.
