Two brothers were sentenced to jail for firebombing three synagogues in California. Following earlier guilty pleas, Benjamin Matthew Williams, 33, was sentenced last Friday to 30 years in prison, and James Tyler Williams, 31, to more than 21 years. They also were ordered to pay more than $1 million in restitution to the three Sacramento, Calif.-area synagogues they attacked in June 1999.
