   CLEVELAND –  A former drug dealer was found guilty on Friday at   
   his retrial in the 2005 arson deaths of a woman and eight   
   children at a birthday sleepover — the city's deadliest house   
   fire.   
      
   A U.S. District Court jury handed down the verdict in the case   
   against 30-year-old Antun Lewis in the fire in an impoverished   
   Cleveland neighborhood. Lewis also was convicted in the first   
   trial.   
      
   Defense attorneys said Friday they believe the enormous tragedy   
   overshadowed the evidence in the case.   
      
   "We truly believe that the charges in this case were so   
   horrific, with the deaths of the children and the mother, that   
   the community wanted to hold someone responsible, in spite of   
   what the evidence showed," attorney Angelo Lonardo said,   
   according to The Plain Dealer.   
      
   The prosecution didn't immediately respond to a message seeking   
   comment after the verdict.   
      
   Judge Solomon Oliver, who presided at both trials, ordered the   
   second trial, agreeing with the defense that the government had   
   used unreliable jailhouse informants.   
      
   The defense said the informants' testimony was prompted by money   
   paid by the government — one man got more than $20,000 over   
   several years — or the prospect of leniency in their own   
   criminal cases.   
      
   The fire killed 33-year-old Medeia Carter, four of her children   
   and four other youngsters attending a birthday sleepover party   
   on May 21, 2005.   
      
   The children were celebrating Moses Williams Jr.'s 14th   
   birthday. More than 4,000 people attended their funerals at   
   Cleveland's convention center.   
      
   Authorities say Lewis, upset over a drug debt, doused the three-   
   story building's first floor with gasoline.   
      
   Lewis, a convicted drug dealer who knew some of the victims,   
   denied wrongdoing and said he was home several blocks away when   
   the fire started before dawn.   
      
   Lewis was charged in federal court because the government   
   subsidized the lease on the house where the fire occurred.   
      
   He was deemed ineligible for the death penalty because of a   
   mental disability. Evidence presented by the defense showed that   
   he has an IQ of about 70 or less, meaning he falls within the   
   range of mild mental disability.
