A bail hearing is set for Friday for a Cumberland County woman who has spent the past four decades behind bars in connection to a deadly fire. Prosecutors said 62-year-old Letitia Smallwood of Carlisle set fire to a building on North Pitt Street in 1972, after a jealous fight over a man.  Two people died. Smallwood has been in prison for 42 years.  Her attorneys argued last month that new scientific methods are raising questions about the initial investigation; and a judge agreed.  No date has been set for a new trial. The district attorney plans to appeal the ruling.
