DA considers charges against man suspected of setting boy on fire in '98

Fourteen years after someone set Robbie Middleton on fire, he died from cancer related to the attack. The case has now lead to a record $150 billion civil judgment.

It was a case that never made it to trial on the criminal side of the Montgomery County Courthouse. Questions weighed down the case from the statute of limitations; two men investigators looked at were already in prison and there were concerns with Robbie's health and ability to testify.

But he did his best to tell the horrific story in one last deposition just before he died in 2011.
