Woman Faces Long Prison Sentence After Being Found Guilty Of Setting Stripper On Fire Inside Club
(NewsCore) -- A woman accused of setting a bikini dancer on fire at the Babes 'n' Beer club in California was convicted of felony mayhem and torture Thursday, counts that could lead to a life prison term.
However, the jury acquitted Rianne Theriault-Odom, 28, of attempted murder and attempted voluntary manslaughter in the February 2009 attack on Roberta Dos Santos Busby, 28.
Authorities said Theriault-Odom argued with the dancer outside the club in Tarzana, in the San Fernando Valley, then doused her with petrol and set her on fire.
Busby, a single mother of two, told the court she suffered burns to 40 percent of her body, spent five months in hospital and had 30 skin grafts since the attack.
The accused denied the charges, saying Busby had punched her and that someone else was responsible for pouring flammable liquid over the dancer.
The court was told that the feud between the two women developed when Theriault-Odom was rejected for a dancer's job at the bar.
Theriault-Odom was scheduled to be sentenced March 4.

Dr. Dre Files Lawsuit Against 'New' Death Row Records Over Royalties
ballerstatus: Dr. Dre has reportedly filed a lawsuit against the successor's of Death Row Records over back royalties and the release of a new version of his classic album, The Chronic.
According to TMZ, the hip-hop superstar (real name: Andre Young) filed a lawsuit against WIDEawake Death Row Records and its parent companies recently, claiming he hasn't been paid for royalties on his multi-platinum smash, The Chronic, since he left the label in 1996.
Death Row Records eventually filed for bankruptcy, and co-founder Suge Knight was stripped of ownership.
But, it was eventually purchased by WIDEawake, who re-launched the label, and has since re-released material from the label's classic catalog.
In Dr. Dre's lawsuit, he claims his attorneys notified the new owners that he's owed royalties, but they've yet to respond.
He says WIDEawake released a new version of The Chronic titled Re-Lit, and a greatest hits collection, containing his recordings without his permission.
"When it came to paying artist royalties and honoring limits on Dr. Dre recordings that could be released, the 'new' Death Row Records, to quote our client, 'forgot about Dre'," Dre's attorney, Howard King, said in a statement. "This lawsuit will make sure they remember."
Dre is seeking unspecified damages of more than $75,000 for breach of contract, false advertising, trademark infringement and misappropriation of publicity.
