加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县洛杉矶市帕利塞兹纵火案二审11月4日开庭陈述，被告被控点燃酿成致命大火的火种
2026年11月4日，洛杉矶市中心联邦法院就帕利塞兹大火纵火案的第二次审判展开开庭陈述。被告乔纳森·林德克内希特（Jonathan Rinderknecht）最初被控三项联邦纵火罪名，检方其后提出取代式起诉书，现以两项罪名受审：以火毁坏财产，以及纵火影响州际商业中使用的财产。被告现年30岁，已作无罪答辩并否认指控。检方指控他于2024年12月31日午夜前后，在帕利塞兹萨米特社区附近的偏僻山地用烧烤打火机点燃植被，火种在地下阴燃一周后，于2025年1月7日在圣安娜强风助推下复燃，最终酿成帕利塞兹大火。
此案今年早些时候已经审理过一次，但陪审团以10比2倾向无罪宣告而未能达成一致，法官宣布审判无效，检方决定重审。本周一和周二，候选陪审员在市中心联邦法院接受问询，最终于周二傍晚选出最终陪审团，11月4日进入开庭陈述阶段；联邦地区法官 Anne Hwang 已裁定重审中不得提及第一次审判。
帕利塞兹大火是洛杉矶历史上破坏最严重的大火之一，造成12人死亡，过火面积23448英亩，摧毁帕利塞兹和马里布地区约6500栋建筑，损失达数十亿美元。检方在先前庭审中称，被告因愤怒、孤独和对富人的报复心理而纵火；辩方则否认指控。本案的审理结果将决定这起灾难性大火的刑事责任归属，受到灾区居民和全市的高度关注。

Opening Statements Begin November 4 in Palisades Arson Retrial in Los Angeles, California
On November 4, 2026, attorneys were set to give opening statements in downtown Los Angeles federal court in the second trial over the Palisades Fire arson case. The defendant, Jonathan Rinderknecht, was originally charged with three federal arson counts; prosecutors later filed a superseding indictment with two charges, destruction of property by means of fire and arson affecting property used in interstate commerce. Rinderknecht, 30, has pleaded not guilty and denies the charges. Prosecutors say that around midnight on December 31, 2024, he used a grill lighter to ignite hillside vegetation near the Summit neighborhood of Pacific Palisades; the fire smoldered underground for a week before Santa Ana winds rekindled it on January 7, 2025, into the Palisades Fire.
The case was tried once earlier this year, but the jury deadlocked 10-2 in favor of acquittal, a mistrial was declared, and prosecutors vowed to retry it. Prospective jurors were questioned on Monday and Tuesday, a final panel was chosen late Tuesday, and opening statements followed on November 4. U.S. District Judge Anne Hwang has ruled there be no reference to the first trial during the retrial.
The Palisades Fire was the most destructive fire in Los Angeles history, killing 12 people, burning 23,448 acres, destroying about 6,500 structures across Pacific Palisades and Malibu, and causing billions of dollars in damage. Prosecutors told the first jury the defendant was driven by anger, loneliness and revenge against the wealthy; the defense denies the charges. The retrial will decide criminal responsibility for the disaster and is being closely watched by fire survivors and the city.
