ghost ship

Prosecutors announced Friday they are seeking to retry Derick Almena, the leaseholder of the building, on 36 counts of manslaughter. One jury has already heard the case, but that ended in a mistrial.

Derick Almena and Max Harris pleaded no contest to 36 counts of involuntary manslaughter in connection with their roles in the 2016 blaze that left three dozen people dead.

Authorities say it's still too soon to tell what caused the fire, but that there is no evidence it was intentional.

Derick Almena leased and managed the warehouse known as "Ghost Ship," which burned down over the weekend, killing at least 36 people. He gave an agonized, frequently tense interview on the Today show.

A devastating fire on Friday killed at least 36 people at an artists' collective in Oakland, Calif. Firefighters have temporarily halted recovery efforts after they noticed a wall was leaning.
