Five years in prison and a $250k fine is way too lenient. A severe example in punishment for Mr. Maynard should be a deterrent for other arsonists. I know this part of California well. These fires sadden me greatly and has caused fire insurance, in those areas, to rise to levels that are affecting home sales...Would you be willing to pay $14k/year just for insurance to live in "Paradise"?
