Arson trial starts over Palisades fire
Jonathan Rinderknecht was on trial for allegedly igniting the Palisades Fire, which caused 12 deaths and destroyed thousands of structures. Prosecutors state he deliberately set the fire using a lighter, driven by resentment toward society, while the defense argues he was watching fireworks and had no involvement in starting the blaze. Evidence including cellphone data, a DNA-laden lighter, and an AI-generated image of a burning city was presented. If convicted, Rinderknecht faces up to 45 years in prison.
