U.S.: The Station Fire suspect could face the death penalty

  • It’s all based on the intent. Investigators in the Station Fire, currently the largest fire in Los Angeles County history, say that there’s a good chance the fire was started intentionally. As two firefighters died in the blaze, that could lead to death penalty charges for the suspect. It’s not without precedent – Raymond Lee Oyler was given that sentence in June for starting the Esperanza fire in 2006. source
