A Mississippi woman set her ex- boyfriend on fire and then tried to tell police he had "fallen into the fireplace holding a bottle of lighter fluid," even going so far as to change his clothes before calling 911, according to prosecutors.
"The injuries this victim suffered were horrific and some of the most severe we have seen," said Madison County District Attorney Bubba Bramlett in a press release announcing the sentencing of Kalena Stubbs, 51, on Wednesday for aggravated assault .
Stubbs pleaded guilty to the felony charge and was sentenced to serve 20 years in prison, which is the maximum time allowed for the offense, according to Bramlett.
While Stubbs' ex survived the attack, Bramlett said his injuries will "affect him for the rest of his life," according to the DA's press release
