Jonathan Rinderknecht is on trial for allegedly starting the Palisades fire, which originated from the underground Lachman fire in January 2025. A federal judge denied the defense’s attempt to introduce prior acts involving threats and burning a Bible, citing potential prejudice, but expressed concern over the defense’s questioning of a federal agent suggesting Rinderknecht had not previously shown intent to ignite fires. The trial continues with a focus on whether Rinderknecht deliberately started the fire, and he faces up to 45 years in prison if convicted.
