(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)
