Question of if charges are coming but how many people are going to be charged. Thats my supposition. Reporter he believes charges are a certainty because of the conditions he at the ghost ship that led to the fire. The haphazard electrical wiring that often sparked, the rvs parked inside the building,g, t fuel load from artwork and ch t collected junk. And weisberg believes charges are coming because of many complaints made to the buildings owners and to the man who leased the warehouse and built ghost ship about the dangers there. Manslaughter charges and probably convictions seem extremely likely here. This is as egregious a case of homicide liability for a fire as ive seen. Reporter the almeida District Attorneys Office would not give me a date or a charging decision but has a seem with multiple attorneys and victim add v advocates all dedicated to this matter and were conducting a careful and thorough criminal investigation.

Almena, recall that the atf could not conclude where the fire originated. The fire did not start in the building next door. It started in the ghost ship. Reporter Mary Alexander is the lead plaintiffs attorney. She has filed this complaint naming the buildings owner, the man who ran ghost ship, pg e and many others. Alexander has the families of 11 victims as clients, is working with lawyers for other victims, and is urging additional plaintiffs to come forward. Government claims can be mailed today and theyre valid. A person can do it themselves. They dont have to have a lawyer. Reporter i reached derrick al almena and his wife through facebook several weeks ago. They would not comment directly on the case or what happened that might. Said thank you for reaching out. Prayers and blessings are the best medicine for us right now. Derrick almena wrote the story of my criminal worthless neness killing me no matter how sorry i am. The lies and hate keep stabbing my eyes out. Its madness and i must endure. Almena also asked for help paying his bills saying none of the money raised for the victims and their families has reached him, his wife or their three children.

If the assembly does add taxes to the plan it will require a twothirds vote in the assembly and the senate for it to pass.
