“I was thinking he was going to come home that morning with a big smile on his face like he normally did. But he didn’t because of you,” Deem’s daughter said during her victim impact statement. “Life is unexpected and that’s something I’ve learned after he passed -- to treasure every moment, every day, as if it was your last.
She also told Johnson that she prays every day to give her daughter comfort, “but I really honestly think that day is gonna be the day she joins him.” “Scott was a friend of mine. Our kids went to the same school. We had a lot of laughs together, but that night changed all that,” Phipps said. “Scott is a hero and he always will be. So with that being said, I want you to apologize for what you put us all though... Maybe one day we will accept it.”
According to an arrest affidavit, investigators determined that the fire started in a rear storage room in the gym. They also determined that there were no electrical issues.
