Summary
Louie Martinez just got a seven-year-to-life sentence for trying to set an elderly homeless woman on fire in Lodi back in February 2025, plus eight months for arson — a crime caught on surveillance video showing him deliberately kicking flames toward her. The victim survived with serious burns but bravely testified, while investigators found lighter fluid, butane, and burned shoes on him. The DA praised her courage and called the sentence justice for a dangerous offender — a chilling case that underscores how senseless violence can be stopped by accountability.
