LOS ANGELES—A woman who was initially charged along with two others with murder in the deaths of 10 people, including two pregnant women, in a 1993 arson fire at an apartment building in the Westlake area of Los Angeles was sentenced Oct. 20 to 18 years in state prison.
Johanna Lopez—who pleaded guilty Thursday to three counts of voluntary manslaughter—was given credit for time she has already served behind bars since her January 2011 arrest by Los Angeles police.
