## Resource

A 68-year-old man from Northern California just received a seven-year-to-life sentence for setting an elderly homeless woman on fire while she slept in downtown Lodi—caught on camera with a flammable object, later found with lighters and a butane canister, and even sporting burn marks on his shoes. The victim survived with severe burns and testified against him. Despite being in a wheelchair, Martinez admitted he knew someone was there when he started the fire. The jury convicted him, and the sentence underscores the brutal reality faced by the homeless—and the justice system’s response to violence against the defenseless.
