My Son Is a Felon
<p>OnDecember 18, 2003, Mark Fregia was driving his ex-girlfriend Erin Weaver and her two young children — one, his biological son, Daelen — from the Bay Area suburb of Vallejo to San Francisco, ostensibly to buy them Christmas presents. As they passed the exit to Pinole, still twenty miles from San Francisco, Mark pulled out a soda bottle filled with gasoline and began dousing Erin. Erin screamed in terror as Mark sparked a flame with a lighter, causing the car to explode into flames. After several chaotic seconds, the car came to rest.</p>
<p>Mark and Erin managed to stumble from the car, but they were unable to free the children from the back seat despite their reported attempts. Mark then ran to a car that had pulled over to help. He forced the driver from the car and drove it to the Tenderloin neighborhood of San Francisco, where he was arrested later that night.</p>
