The Palisades Fire was the most destructive in L.A. history!
The Jan. 2025 fire destroyed over 6,800 structures across 23,000+ acres — L.A.'s costliest wildfire ever. Now a related trial has ended in a hung jury. Learn more at Wikipedia
Arson has one of the lowest conviction rates of any crime in the U.S.
The ATF estimates fewer than 1 in 10 arson cases ends in conviction. Fires destroy evidence, making it extremely hard to prove intent — which may help explain why this L.A. Palisades Fire jury deadlocked.
Vance converted to Catholicism in 2019, baptized by Fr. Justin Hannegan
After years of spiritual searching, Vance was received into the Catholic Church at age 35. His godfather was Peter Thiel, the billionaire tech investor and close political ally.
