The latest reporting is conflicting, but the most reliable update I found says the jury in Jonathan Rinderknecht’s trial ended up deadlocked , not unanimous. That means there is no final verdict yet as of the latest available reports.

What happened

  • One report said the jury had reached a verdict, but later updates said jurors told the judge they were “at a standstill” and unable to agree on all counts.
  • Rinderknecht is facing federal charges tied to the Palisades Fire case and had pleaded not guilty.

Current status

  • The best-supported takeaway is that the case was not resolved by a final jury verdict in the latest reporting I found.
  • If the court later announces a mistrial, retrial, or a new unanimous verdict, that would change the answer.

Plain-English read

A deadlocked jury usually means the jurors could not all agree, so the case does not end with a clean guilty-or-not-guilty result. In this situation, the judge may declare a mistrial or push for more deliberation depending on the court’s next step.
