Colorado firefighters committ manslaughter by startimg fire that kills two, burns down half the state

A forestry technician with the U.S. Forest Service, Terry Barton that started the last major fire in Colorado only received 15 years of probation and 1,000 hours community service

The State of Colorado originally sentenced Barton to 12 years in prison to run concurrently with the 6-year federal sentence. However the state sentence was overturned on appeal on grounds that the presiding judge had "the appearance of prejudice"
