Third man sentenced in firebomb attack that killed mother and child

JOLIET -- A 24-year-old man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for his role in a firebombing that killed a Joliet woman and her 4-year-old daughter.

Twenty-four-year-old Sergio Anguiana had cooperated with prosecutors and testified at the trials of two co-defendants that he drove the night of the 2005 attack but that he didn't know what the duo intended to do.

The two other men, Juan Santana and Ignacio Jacobo, have already been convicted of first-degree murder in the deaths of 35-year-old Maria Nunez and her daughter Merary.

Jacobo was accused of throwing a rock through the window of Nunez's home, while Santana allegedly threw a firebomb through the broken window.

Two of Nunez's older children survived.
