A Salt Lake man will serve at least 18 years for trying to kill a Centerville couple and burning down their house in 2022.
FARMINGTON — Walking to the stand in 2nd District Court on Wednesday, Clarence Newman, 74, carried the same oxygen tank his attacker told him last July would make it even easier for him to be burned to death.
Appearing erratic in the courtroom, Woodhead said, "I just want to apologize to everybody. … It should never have happened. It was a random event, you know. I never planned it." Woodhead is also being granted credit for time served so far, 380 days in the Utah State Prison. He will also pay $79,163.53 to Newman and Schmucker, with more restitution fees going to neighbors whose houses were affected by the fire, and to the Utah Office for Victims of Crime.
Woodhead punched Schmucker in the teeth, breaking them, Schmucker said in court. He also punched her in the face, knocking her against a wall and causing a brain injury and an eye injury, she said. Woodhead poured gasoline on the carpet, tried to light it on fire, then went out to the deck and lit that on fire, Schmucker said.
