MACON, Ga. - A woman who was facing the death penalty in the deaths of two boys who died in a Macon house fire has pleaded guilty to two counts of murder and got concurrent life sentences.
Shauntrice Murry was charged with arson and two counts of murder in the July 2008, deaths of 2-year-old Hezekiah Harris and 4-year-old Tydarious Harris.
Prosecutor John Regan says that in exchange for pleading guilty to the murder charges Wednesday, the arson charge was dismissed.
Murry's boyfriend and co-defendant, Anthony Desean Braswell, still may face the death penalty if he's convicted of the murder charges against him. Another woman, Latoshia Yvette Wyche, also is charged with two counts of murder and one count of arson, but prosecutors aren't seeking the death penalty in her case.

What was the purpose of setting the house on fire in the first place?
DMac_357, previous news reports state there was an argument that day between the people living in the house and this lady along with 2 men she knew. The previous news reports state that one of the men poured gasoline on the front porch of the house and lit it on fire in retaliation of the argument.
Such evolved people running loose, uh, formerly running loose.
