A man has told his ex-girlfriend, who was part of a plot to set him on fire in Adelaide, to stare at the inside of her jail cell and think of him basking in his freedom.  Michael Brinias suffered severe burns that took years to heal after his former partner Kerry Ross and her boyfriend Ben Woodhart lured him into a car park where he was doused in petrol and set alight in 2013.  "While you sit and stare at your cell walls, know that the whole time I will be enjoying that fresh, free air," Mr Brinias said in his victim impact statement read to the District Court on Tuesday.  "May my eternal flame burn on in ways that you could not imagine."  Mr Brinias said the attack left him injured and scarred both physically and mentally.  He lost feeling in six of his fingers and was couch-ridden for nine months.  "I was not able to turn a knob to open a door, or change the channel on the remote," he said.  He felt incredibly betrayed by his ex-girlfriend Ross, who he said he treated "like an angel".  "This betrayal has caused the worst trust issues I have ever had," Mr Brinias said.  Ross and Woodhart, both 29, were found guilty by a jury of luring Mr Brinias and another man into a car park under the guise of a drug deal with the intent to rob them.  There, two hooded figures appeared and set them on fire, with both victims suffering serious burns. The hooded attackers were never identified.  Defence lawyer Angus Redford said Ross, who had struggled with drug addiction, had great remorse over what she had done and asked the judge to consider a home detention sentence.  But prosecutor Matthew Boisseau argued the offence was simply too serious.  "It was an aggravated robbery that then proceeded to two men being set on fire inside their car," he said.  The pair will be sentenced on January 23.
