NBA Champion Chris Bosh’s $11M Mansion Linked to New Twist in Palisades Fire Arson Case
Defense lawyers say a launched firework from Chris Bosh’s rented mansion may explain the blaze, while prosecutors call their proposed expert unqualified.
- On Thursday, Jonathan Rinderknecht's defense team pointed to NBA legend Chris Bosh's mansion as the potential source of the 2025 Palisades Fire, seeking to prove Rinderknecht did not start the deadly blaze.
- Rinderknecht has remained in federal custody since his Oct 7, 2025, arrest for allegedly starting the blaze with a lighter; his first trial in June ended in a mistrial.
- Retired Cal Fire investigator Michael T. Cole is expected to testify that markings on Bosh's driveway constitute physical evidence of a launched firework from Jan 1, 2025, according to court filings.
- Arguing Cole has "zero qualifications, training, or experience," prosecutors filed to disqualify him, noting his opinion relies solely on six drone photographs of a brown stain rather than in-person inspection.
- The former Miami Heat star, who was renting the property when the fire ignited, did not immediately respond to requests for comment as the retrial process continues.
