Oct. 5 (UPI) -- Prosecutors plan to retry a California man on manslaughter charges next year after a jury was unable to reach a verdict last month related to his involvement in the 2016 Ghost Ship warehouse fire in Oakland.
Derick Almena faces 36 counts of manslaughter in the trial scheduled for March 30. During Friday's hearing, the judge declined to lower Almena's $750,000 bail, meaning he'll have been in jail for more than three years at the start of his second trial.
