A horrified court room looked on today as a man who had just been convicted of
burning down his $3.5 million mansion collapsed and died in front of
them.Michael Marin, 53, was found guilty of arson by a jury in Maricopa County
Superior Court. He appeared shocked and closed his eyes as the verdict was read
before appearing to put something in his mouth and wash it down with liquid in a
plastic water bottle. Marin burned down his Phoenix mansion on July 5, 2009
after it failed to sell at a charity auction. No one was injured in the blaze
but the charge of committing arson of an occupied structure holds the same
number of years in prison in Arizona as second-degree murder.
If you look you’ll see this guy put something in his mouth at :35, then again
at 5:06, then he’s down for the count at 7:40. Wild stuff. Tried to get some
insurance money and got caught. It’s kind of grim for a Friday morning but you
gotta remember that this is what the dude chose for himself. James Bond cyanide
pills over getting finger-banged in his butt by huge Latino men.[/*][/list]
