## Resource

The jury is deadlocked in the trial of Jonathan Rinderknecht, accused of starting the deadly Palisades Fire that killed twelve and destroyed thousands of homes. Prosecutors say he deliberately lit the blaze out of rage against the wealthy elite, while the defense argues there’s no direct evidence and it could have been something else—like fireworks. With circumstantial evidence and Rinderknecht refusing to testify, the case hinges on whether the jury can overcome doubt. If convicted, he faces up to 45 years— but for now, the verdict remains elusive. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
