“#\u2018Ghost Ship\u2019 leaseholder Derick Almena pleads guilty<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

The leaseholder of an Oakland, California warehouse where 36 people died in a fire during a 2016 rave pleaded guilty to the deaths on Friday \u2014 and will likely serve no more time behind bars.<\/p>\n

Derick Almena, 50, app<\/a>eared virtually in court and pleaded guilty to 36 counts of involuntary manslaughter in exchange for a 12-year sentence.<\/p>\n

Almena avoided another trial by pleading guilty as scheduled. His first trial ended in a hung jury. <\/p>\n

He has been out on bail and won\u2019t likely be returning to jail because of good behavior during the three years he was behind bars. <\/p>\n

Almena\u2019s sentencing is scheduled for March 8. <\/p>\n

Prosecutors charged that Almena was negligent when he illegally converted the two-story warehouse into a residence and event space for artists dubbed the \u201cGhost Ship.\u201d <\/p>\n

The blaze broke out on Dec. 2, 2016 during an electronic dance party, trapping revelers on the second floor.<\/p>\n

Furniture, extension cords and other flammable materials were packed inside the building. There were also no smoke detectors or sprinklers, according to prosecutors. <\/p>\n

Max Harris, the building\u2019s property manager, was found not guilty in 2019. <\/p>\n
