LOS ANGELES — A San Fernando Valley woman is facing life in prison for dousing a bikini dancer with gasoline and setting her on fire.
Twenty-eight-year-old Rianne Theriault-Odom [pictured] of Tarzana is scheduled to be sentenced Thursday for the February 2009 assault on Roberta Busby.
Prosecutors say the two women had been feuding when Theriault-Odom doused the 28-year-old mother of two with gasoline from a soda bottle and set her ablaze at a Tarzana club.
The Simi Valley woman received burns over 40 percent of her body and has had more than two dozen skin grafts.
Theriault-Odom claimed someone else set the woman on fire. Last month, a jury convicted her of torture and aggravated mayhem but acquitted her of attempted murder.
