Episode Details

Jonathan Rinderknechts defense team is pushing for his release from jail, alleging the Los Angeles Fire Departments negligence in handling the initial Palisades Fire. New evidence from a deposition in a related lawsuit reveals a firefighter spotted smoldering ground on January second, which was not considered a threat at the time. The battalion chief testified he inspected the area four times that day and believed the fire was extinguished. Rinderknecht, who has pleaded not guilty, has spent 150 days in jail since his indictment in October. His lawyers argue this new evidence weakens the case against him.
