(October 27, 2008)--A nurse pleaded guilty Monday in Houston to starting a fire in her office in 2007 that killed three people.
Misty Ann Weaver, 35, pleaded guilty to three counts of felony murder and one count of first-degree arson.
She was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
She will begin the sentence on Jan. 20 after spending the holidays with her family.
Weaver, a vocational nurse, apologized to her victims' families.
Weaver admitted setting the fire in her office building to hide that she had not completed some paperwork on time for her boss, cosmetic surgeon Dr, Robert Capriotti.
She used a lighter to set a box on fire in a supply closet, prosecutors said.
The fire on Mar. 28, 2007 spread through the fifth floor of a six-story building, killing three people and injured six others including some firefighters.
Jeanette Hargrove, 52, of Friendswood, and Houston residents Marvin Wells Sr., 46, and Shana Ellis, 38, died of smoke inhalation.
Weaver was originally charged with three counts of felony murder and one of first-degree arson.
