Athens woman pleads in arson case avoids prison
Athens woman Lisa May, 35, accepted a plea Wednesday before Judge George McCarthy that avoids prison. She will register as an arson offender for life, face five years of community control, undergo mental health counseling, and pay 14500 dollars restitution to victim Lili Chandler. The agreement stems from disputed Fire Marshal procedures and limited evidence. Chandler's home at 76 Westfield Place burned on November 7, 2015, with others present.
