Episode Details

Jonathan Rinderknecht, the man accused of igniting the massive Palisades Fire, is back in court facing new charges after a hung jury in his first trial. Prosecutors still claim he deliberately started the initial Lachman Fire on New Year’s Day last year, which later merged into the larger blaze — though they’ve dropped one of three arson counts this time. Their theory? He was bitter about his life and had a vendetta against the rich. The first jury sided with him 10 to 2. Now, with his retrial set for November 2nd — and him arrested in Florida nine months after the fire — the stakes are higher than ever.
