Man gets 78 months for synagogue fire
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
A 27-year-old Oceanside man was sentenced Monday to 78 months in federal prison for setting fire to a synagogue.
Manuel Tiscareno-Renteria was convicted in May of torching Congregation Beth Am Synagogue in 2003.
He has been held in jail since his arrest the day after the fire.
U.S. District Court Judge Larry A. Burns will subtract the 48 months Tiscareno-Renteria has already served from Monday’s sentence.
Nobody was injured in the fire.
