CRANSTON, R.I. (AP) - The band manager whose pyrotechnics
display sparked a nightclub fire that killed 100 people in 2003 has
been freed from prison. And prison officials in his home state of
Florida have said he would serve his parole here.
Daniel Biechele walked from the front door of Rhode
Island's minimum security prison into his lawyer's car this
afternoon and was driven away. He served less than half of his
four-year sentence.
Biechele, the former tour manager for the 1980s rock band White">Great
White, pleaded guilty in 2006 to 100 counts of involuntary
manslaughter for his part in the fire at The Station nightclub in
West Warwick.
