Prosecutors used ChatGPT logs as evidence in the Palisades fire trial

Prosecutors utilized ChatGPT logs as evidence in the arson trial of Jonathan Rinderknecht, who is accused of starting a deadly New Year's Day 2025 wildfire in LA. The legal case also relies on iPhone location data, security camera footage, and witness testimony.
