Convicted firebug Chad Joseph Musgrave has been sentenced to a three-year jail term for setting fire to four cars as well as several mounds of rubbish left out for kerbside collection at Lake Macquarie in 2019.
A backdated non-parole period that Magistrate John Chicken handed down yesterday as part of the punishment meant that the 36-year-old would have been immediately eligible for release - but for separate serious drug supply charges making their way through the courts, which have kept him behind bars since early this year.
