Craig Crawford â accused of setting a house fire last year that killed his husband, well-known Salt Lake City restaurateur John Williams â pleaded guilty Tuesday. Crawford, 48, pleaded guilty as charged in 3rd District Court to first-degree felony counts of aggravated murder and aggravated arson. In exchange, prosecutors agreed not to seek the death penalty. Judge James Blanch will decide at a later hearing whether Crawford will serve life in prison with or without the possibility of parole.
