A Queens judge threw the book — a 100-year sentence — at a 26-year-old father who set fire to his pregnant ex-girlfriend and the Long Island City apartment where she lived with their son and another child.
“Prisons are made for people like you,” Queens Supreme Court Justice Michael Aloise told Khenan Clarke at his sentencing yesterday.
Clarke was convicted in April of arson, three counts of attempted murder, assault and burglary for setting Latisha Shaw on fire as she fled the attack on Nov. 15, 2009.
“How can someone human be so evil to their own child?” Shaw said in a statement.
