Warehouse Fire Court Battle Ends With One Acquittal, One Mistrial

The video discusses the legal outcomes of the Oakland Ghost Ship fire case, where Max Harris was acquitted, and Derrick Almena faced a mistrial. The fire in 2016 resulted in 36 deaths, and both were charged with involuntary manslaughter. Almena and Harris were accused of converting the warehouse into a living space illegally. Almena claimed city officials were partly responsible for not reporting safety issues. Prosecutors argued the building lacked safety measures and violated lease terms. Almena's new trial date is set for October 4th.
