Trial begins for man accused of starting deadly Palisades Fire

A trial began for Jonathan Rinderknecht, accused of igniting the Palisades Fire, which killed 12 people and destroyed thousands of structures. Prosecutors allege he set a smaller fire near a hiking trail in the Santa Monica Mountains, which later reignited as the Palisades Fire due to high winds. Rinderknecht faces up to 45 years in federal prison if convicted.
