An attorney is charged with setting a fire at the Martinsburg law firm where she worked in September 2007 and then attempting to set another fire there in April 2008, according to Berkeley County Magistrate Court records.

Ashley R. Shreve, 28, of 2316 Longboat Court in Richmond, Va., was arrested Wednesday in Richmond by Henrico County (Va.) police, Berkeley County Sheriff’s Lt. B.F. Hall said Thursday.

Shreve is charged with one count each of second-degree arson, attempted arson and terrorist threats, according to warrants issued April 29 by Magistrate Sandra L. Miller, court records show.

Hall said Shreve waived extradition and is expected to be returned to Berkeley County to face the charges in the next few days.

The fire Sept. 20, 2007, at McNeer, Highland, McMunn & Varner L.C., at 275 Aikens Center, caused “thousands of dollars” in damage, possibly between $5,000 and $10,000, Hall said.

Shreve was a resident of Spring Mills in Berkeley County when she worked at the law firm, Hall said.

She no longer works there and moved to the Richmond area after the April 2008 attempted arson, according to police.

The fire was reported at 5:45 a.m. Shreve and another employee were the last two staff members to leave the office the evening before the fire, according to court records.

A box of legal documents in a legal assistant’s office were intentionally set on fire and a box of files that were found under Shreve’s desk also had fire damage, according to court records.

A teenager convicted of first-degree murder for fatally stabbing another student in the bathroom of a suburban Boston high school has been sentenced to life in prison.

John Odgren was sentenced Friday to a mandatory life sentence with no possibility for parole by Middlesex Superior Court Judge Jane Haggerty.

Odgren's lawyer filed a motion asking the judge to declare a state law that forces mandatory life sentences for juvenile offenders as unconstitutional. The judge says she will take it up at a later date.

Odgren was convicted Thursday by a jury that rejected the defense's assertion that the then-16-year-old boy was legally insane when he stabbed 15-year-old James Alenson at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School on Jan. 19, 2007.

Prosecutors depicted Odgren as a calculating killer who picked a victim at random.

The Ohio Supreme Court has ordered a judge removed from the trial of a man suspected of killing 11 women whose remains were found around his home.

An order signed by acting Chief Justice Paul Pfeifer on Thursday says Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH'-guh) County Common Pleas Judge Shirley Strickland Saffold must step down to avoid an appearance of bias or prejudice.

Attorneys for Anthony Sowell (SOH'-wehl) asked the court to remove Saffold. They claim Saffold made biased comments about him and a defense attorney in postings on a newspaper's website.

The judge has denied posting the comments. Her daughter has claimed responsibility.

Saffold is the second judge off the case. The first judge stepped down in December after a newspaper published his e-mails.

Sowell has pleaded not guilty in the Cleveland killings.

A federal immigration officer who was recorded demanding sex from a woman in exchange for a green card has pleaded guilty.

Isaac Baichu pleaded guilty to all the charges against him Wednesday in Queens. The 48-year-old is expected to receive a prison sentence of 1 1/2 to 4 1/2 years.

The case involved a Colombian woman married to an American citizen. The woman said she gave in to one sex demand in December 2007 because she was afraid, but she used a mobile phone hidden in her purse to record the encounter.

She took the recording to The New York Times and to the Queens district attorney's office.

Baichu was arrested in March 2008 after meeting with the woman again, this time with prosecutors listening in.
