Brett Sweeting Sr., 56, was sentenced to 2 ½ to 5 years in prison after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter, the paper reported.
Prosecutors said that Sweeting Sr., let his son, Brett Sweeting Jr., 26, burn to death after the Scranton house exploded in the arson attempt in 2018.
“I know individuals who risk their lives to save animals,” Deneen Daniels, Sweeting Jr.’s mother, reportedly said. “You let my son burn to death.” “You were supposed to protect him, and instead you lead him to his death,” Sweeting Jr.’s half-sister, Carlene Burgette, said according to the newspaper. “I hope every day you wake up … the thoughts of my brother eat you alive.”
