The man accused of sparking last year’s deadly Palisades Fire will be tried again this fall after his first federal arson case ended in a mistrial Friday. Ten of the 12 jurors said Jonathan Rinderknecht, 29, is innocent. Judge Anne Hwang quickly set an Oct. 19 retrial date and ordered him jailed until then. Rinderknecht has pleaded not guilty to starting one of the most destructive wildfires in California history.
