Rinderknecht Faces Fewer Charges | Los Angeles News
Description
Prosecutors dropped one felony charge against Jonathan Rinderknecht, accused of igniting the deadly Palisades Fire in 2025, leaving him facing just two counts instead of three. The fire — sparked on New Year’s Day — became the worst in LA history, killing 12, destroying nearly 7,000 homes, and costing billions. His first trial ended in a mistrial as jurors split 10-2. Defense insists the case wasn’t proven; prosecutors are confident they’ll win this time. Retrial looms.
