Former Northpoint Inmate Convicted

{Danville, Kentucky}...A jury has convicted 40 year old Newell Stacy, one of five inmates charged with setting fires at Northpoint Training Center in Danville on August 20, 2009, destroying six buildings and leaving five dorms uninhabitable. The jury found Stacy guilty of rioting but was deadlocked when it came to the arson charge. Prosecutor Richie Bottoms says he hasn't decided whether to offer Stacy a plea deal on the arson charge or pursue another trial, but he said the charges won't be dropped. The prison is currently being rebuilt at a cost of $18.8 million.
