Man appeals conviction for torching wife

Natasha Johnson

Dellon Gordon, who was sentenced to 83 years in jail for killing his wife, who died after being set on fire, has appealed his conviction.

Gordon was found guilty by a 12-member jury on October 15th, 2014, for the 2011 murder of mother of three Natasha Johnson, who succumbed in hospital to the burns she sustained in the fire.

Following his conviction, Justice Navindra Singh imposed an 83-year jail sentence, with a minimum of 50 years to be served before the possibility of parole.
