Man Convicted in Pa. Fire That Killed Two:
This is a follow-up to last year’s story of firefighters John Taylor, 53, and Rey Rubio, 42, who were killed trying to put out a fire that was started when pot growing lights inside a wooden closet set fire to the house. Well, the pot growing and dealing Daniel Brough was convicted of involuntary manslaughter. Here’s what kills me…
Brough, 37, faces three to 12 months in prison on each of two counts when he is sentenced Nov. 28. The jury rejected charges of third-degree murder, which would have carried six to 20 years each.
So two members of Philadelphia’s Fire Department are dead and the most this scumbag can get is 12 months? You can argue with me all you want that pot should be legal but the fact remains that it’s not legal. Therefore these two firemen basically died during a commission of a crime.
It’s a travesty and a grave injustice to the memories of John Taylor and Rey Rubio that Daniel Brough will be a free man once again in less than two years. Daniel Brough will get to go home to his family. John Taylor and Rey Rubio won’t.
