Pang to be Released.

On January 5th, 1995, Martin Pang torched his parent’s frozen food warehouse to collect insurance money.  While fighting the fire, four Seattle firefighters died.

Pang was originally charged with First Degree Murder under the Felony Murder Rule. (He committed First Degree Arson, and because firefighters died, it became four counts of Murder 1).  Had he been convicted of the four murders, he would have spent the rest of his life in prison.

He fled to Brazil, and country with which the United States had no extradition treaty.  Brazil, which does not recognize felony murder, would only allow extradition for the Arson.

Pang pled guilty to four counts of Manslaughter.  Because of that, this narcissistic psychopath will be released from prison in September.

I wrote about working this case in my book.
