男子对致命帕利塞德火灾指控表示不认罪
摘要
29岁的乔纳森·林德克内希特因涉嫌引发导致12人死亡、6800多栋建筑被毁的帕利塞德火灾，面临联邦纵火指控。
29岁的佛罗里达居民乔纳森·林德克内希特周四在洛杉矶联邦法院对与加利福尼亚州最具破坏性的野火之一——帕利塞德火灾相关的指控表示不认罪。
检方指控，林德克内希特于2025年1月1日在太平洋帕利塞德引燃了拉克曼火灾，该火灾在地下阴燃，并在圣安娜风的助燃下于1月7日重新燃起，形成帕利塞德火灾。此次火灾造成12人死亡，6800多栋建筑被毁。
林德克内希特面临三项联邦指控：影响州际商业财产的纵火罪、通过火灾破坏财产罪以及纵火烧毁林木罪。如果被定罪，他可能面临5年至45年的监禁。
在听证会上，林德克内希特的律师史蒂文·哈尼强调其当事人无犯罪前科，并质疑消防部门是否完全扑灭了最初的拉克曼火灾。
调查人员提交了包括将林德克内希特定位于火灾起点附近的地理定位数据，以及他在网上搜索纵火相关内容和人工智能生成的燃烧城市图像的活动证据。
林德克内希特目前被拘留，未获保释，审判定于12月16日进行。
