Newark Woman Sentenced In Custody-Related Arsons

Newark Police

A Newark woman will serve seven years in prison after admitting she set fire to her family's home last February. 40-year-old Amy Wilson was sentenced after pleading guilty Monday in a plea bargain to charges of setting three fires at her family's home in an attempt to frame her estranged husband. Prosecutors say she falsified incriminating text messages with two prepaid cellphones. Prosecutors say Wilson was attempting to gain full custody of her three daughters.
