RIVERSIDE, Calif. (AP) - An auto mechanic accused of setting a raging wildfire that killed five firefighters was back in court Monday to face additional arson charges as the first detailed evidence on the blazes was presented.
A state fire investigator testified that Raymond Lee Oyler likely experimented with arson methods as early as five months before the fatal fire.
Oyler, 36, is charged with five counts of first-degree murder, 17 counts of using an incendiary device and 23 counts of arson, including the deadly fire.
