CROWN POINT â A Lake Criminal Court jury found an Illinois man guilty Monday of murdering a Hammond woman in 2018 by intentionally setting a fire at her home while she, her son and the defendant's estranged wife were sleeping.
Ronald A. Gee, 45, of Berwyn, was found guilty of felony murder and three counts of arson, according to the Lake County prosecutor's office. He was acquitted of two counts of attempted murder and one count of murder.
Gee could face 45 to 65 years in prison for murder and 10 to 30 years in prison on the highest arson count, which was a level 2 felony.
