So would the State of California also face murder charges for its role in the wildfires? Forestry and conservation laws prevented clearing of dead underbrush, thinning the forests to appropriate density (currently 2-3x denser than in history) and prevented creating stop gaps to prevent fires from spreading. The state laws are the reason the fires were able to spread so far and so fast, so who will be charged with murder at the government level?
