Tour boss admits causing 100 deaths in nightclub fire
The former tour manager for heavy metal rock group Great White has pleaded guilty to 100 counts of involuntary manslaughter for setting off pyrotechnics that caused one of the deadliest nightclub fires in US history.
Daniel Biechele, 29, will serve no more than 10 years in prison under the plea deal, which comes two weeks before the three-year anniversary of the fire at The Station nightclub in Rhode Island. He will be sentenced on May 8.
