Houston: A 27-year-old Indian-origin woman, convicted of arson leading to her husband's death two years ago, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison by a court in the US state of Texas. After long deliberations, a Travis County jury handed down the sentence to Shriya Patel yesterday afternoon, which was accepted by District Judge David Crain.

In the courtroom yesterday, she stared straight ahead as the verdict was read. Although her family was not in the courtroom, but local South Asian community members, who supported her for last two weeks of trial were there for her. More than a dozen friends of Bimal Patel, who also have sat through the proceedings, were absent.

Bimal's friends testified that Shriya loved another man and wanted to make him jealous. But Shriya's attorneys argued Bimal wanted to kill himself and forced her to help. Outside the courtroom, defense lawyer Jackie Wood said the case was a challenging one to try, given the lack of physical evidence and cultural and language barriers. She said she believed the state had not pushed for enough testing in the investigation and that it had fi...
