A federal trial has ended in a mistrial for a man accused of starting a deadly fire in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles. The trial of Jonathan Rinderknecht was halted when the jury was unable to reach a verdict. Prosecutors had alleged that Rinderknecht's motivations for the fire were rooted in a desire for revenge against society.

Further details on the case and the mistrial are available from KVIA ABC-7.
