A German man who set dozens of fires across Los Angeles during several nights of terror six years ago to avenge his mother's deportation was sane at the time, a jury decided Monday.
Harry Burkhart, 30, was previously found guilty of nearly 50 arson counts for fires he set around New Year's 2012.
Burkhart made good on threats to "roast America" following his mother's extradition to Germany on fraud charges, prosecutors said.
He placed fire-starting devices under cars in Hollywood, the San Fernando Valley and West Hollywood on three different nights, authorities said. Some vehicles were in carports and in 19 cases the fires spread to homes and apartments.
No one was seriously injured during the fires that caused an estimated $3 million in damage, but the blazes ignited widespread fear.
