“#Ghost Ship Master Tenant Receives 12-Year Sentence, Likely Avoids Prison<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

The master tenant of the Oakland warehouse space Ghost Ship recently pleaded guilty to 36 counts of involuntary manslaughter over the tragic 2016 fire that resulted in the deaths of 36 people. On Monday, Derick Almena received a 12-year sentence but is not expected to spend more time in prison, the Associated Press reports<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Almena is currently under house arrest\u2014he was released from jail last year due to coronavirus concerns. Since he received credit for time spent behind bars while awaiting trial and good behavior, he\u2019s expected to spend one-and-a-half years at home in an ankle bracelet followed by three years of probation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know that no family member will find this in any way acceptable, and I accept that responsibility,\u201d Alameda County Superior Court Judge Trina Thompson said. \u201cI wish I could in the stroke of a pen take away your deep loss and your sadness.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Thompson was urged by relatives of fire victimes to reject the plea deal. \u201cThis lenient, slap-on-the-wrist sentence is vastly inapp<\/a>ropriate for the crimes Derick Almena committed,\u201d the family of fire victim Sarah Hoda said in a statement read to the court via teleconference. \u201cUpholding the DA\u2019s irresponsible plea recommendation would shortchange 36 victims and their families.\u201d<\/p>\n

Less than a year after the Ghost Ship fire, Almena and fellow venue operator Max Harris were arrested in connection with the blaze. Almena and Harris initially pleaded not guilty to the charges. In July 2018, they agreed to a plea deal. In 2019, Max Harris was acquitted on all charges. Almena, meanwhile, faced a hung jury and retrial. His guilty plea and today\u2019s sentencing mean he will not face a new trial.<\/p>\n
