Ghost ship fire: No convictions over 36 deaths in Oakland warehouse

(UTV|COLOMBO) – A jury acquitted one man but could not reach a verdict on another in the deaths of 36 party-goers at a warehouse fire in Oakland, California.

Building manager Max Harris, 29, was acquitted of involuntary manslaughter over the blaze at the Ghost Ship venue on 3 December 2016.

A mistrial was declared in the same charges against his co-accused, leaseholder Derek Almena, 49.

The outcome follows a three-month trial and 10 days of jury deliberations. (BBC)
