Jury sentences man to 50 years in arson case
An Ector County jury sentenced 62 year old Mark Edward Wright to 50 years in prison after he pled guilty to an arson charge. Wright doused a couch with gasoline at his Noble Avenue home on October 25, 2014 and set it ablaze in a dispute with his wife Dovie Wright who suffered burns. Prosecutors said two pets died in the fire and Wright showed no remorse. Wright testified he was sorry, but prosecutors argued the act was deliberate to displace his wife. The case was heard in Judge Stacy Trotter's 358th District Court with defense attorney Lawrence Barber seeking probation.
