A behavioral analyst told jurors Wednesday that Jonathan Rinderknecht’s alleged path to the Palisades Fire began with anger, isolation and a desire for “societal revenge.” Dr. Kevin Kelm, a former special agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, testified that “escalating anger” and “social isolation” compelled Rinderknecht to set the Lachman Fire on New Year’s Eve 2025. Kelm told jurors that alleged arsonists like Rinderknecht are often driven by extreme frustration and anger, leading to spontaneous acts of fire-setting prompted by a desire for revenge against the world. “These individuals have a lot of things going wrong in their lives,” Kelm testified. “The opportunity to express revenge can be exciting to some arsonists.”
