Jury reaches verdict in arson trial of Palisades Fire suspect Jonathan Rinderknecht - ABC7 Los Angeles
Overview
A jury in the arson trial of Jonathan Rinderknecht — accused of starting the blaze that became the January 2025 Palisades Fire — told the court after two days of deliberations that it was deadlocked, after previously indicating it had reached a verdict. The impasse creates the possibility of a mistrial or additional proceedings while the judge decides next steps. The development mirrors other recent high-profile jury deadlocks and draws continued attention to arson prosecutions.
