As far I know, California already has a law in place. When a person dies during the commission of a crime, be it intentional, or unintentional, that person is guilty of murder. In other words, if a robbery victim has a heart attack and dies during a robbery, or even an attempted robbery, the robber is guilty of murder. The same with arson, if a person dies for whatever reason, the arsonist is guilty of murder and may be subjected to the death penalty. But His Lordship Newsom won’t allow it.
Would like to see a report detailing origin of each of this years fires including incarceration history, immigration status and if illegal country they came from. Of course such a report would never voluntarily be made public.

The Park Fire by this evening is likely to have burned 165,000 acres.
Was man caused, from press coverage by a twice convicted FELON.
“… sentenced to 20 years in prison after being convicted of sex crimes
against a child under 14 years old in 2001 and of robbery with great bodily injured.”

Arsonists need minimum 25 year sentences with no reduction of sentences allowed does full 25 years. Widely publicize each year in late spring and thru fire season number of convictions and years incarcerated they were sentenced to. With democrat super majority in state legislature don’t hold your breathe, they have already proven they are doing whatever they can to early release convicted FELONS back to our streets.

Incarceration costs reduce tax dollars available for their woke feel good projects that’ll get them reelected.

If there is no threat of substantial incarceration,
there is no deterrence to criminal behavior
Depends on the circumstances – but a minimum of life without a possibility of parole and stripped of all assets, current and future for partial restitution
