Attorney says one of the men accused of starting the deadly GhostShip fire is a 'scapegoat'
Prosecutors said Almena, 49, rented the warehouse, known as the Ghost Ship, initially for the purpose of building theatrical sets inside, but then he quickly sublet the space to other artists and filled it with highly combustible materials that fueled the fire. Harris is accused of helping Almena convert the warehouse, collect rent and coordinate parties there.
Both defense teams for Harris and Almena have introduced the theory of arson as a potential cause of the fire. No official cause was ever determined by investigators, so arson could not be ruled out.
