Norwalk courthouse arsonist to get 12-years behind bars

Assistant State’s Attorney Michelle Manning, who prosecuted the case during a five day trial at the Stamford courthouse in late October, asked Stamford Judge Gary White to sentence Stephenson to 15 years in jail, followed by five years special parole. A DNA researcher from the state forensic lab testified during trial that he matched Stephenson’s DNA to samples collected on each of the 32-ounce kerosene bottles as well as a canvas bag found next to them inside the state’s attorneys office as well as a hammer found near the exit of the courthouse. State police investigators also testified they tied a Range Rover caught on surveillance cameras in the area of the courthouse that night to Stephenson.
