The man accused of “maliciously” starting the most destructive wildfire in Los Angeles history last year is set to face a jury over arson charges.

Prosecutors allege Jonathan Rinderknecht, 30, hiked around midnight on New Year’s Eve to a hillside in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood filled with multimillion-dollar homes and set a brush fire with a barbecue lighter later found in his car.
