LOS ANGELES (AP) - A German architect who built and designed a
sprawling mansion in the Hollywood Hills pleaded not guilty to
manslaughter Wednesday in the death of a firefighter who was killed
battling a blaze when a ceiling saturated with water collapsed on
him.. Gerhard Albert Becker, who also owned the home, entered his
plea in Los Angeles County Superior Court. He was jailed on $2
million bail and ordered to return to court March 1 for a
preliminary hearing.Becker was also the home's construction
contractor, and authorities say the shoddy way he put it together,
including putting a fireplace on the third floor that was designed
only for outside use, led to the fire.

So, how does a "deathtrap" like this manage to pass inspection in
the first place?

Very strange story that one. A few points don't make sense. Probably
poor journalism.

You DARE to comment? You worthless sack of protoplasm. You should be
strapped to a table and your organs removed one by one until you ****in'
DIE. We should start with the most useless ones first to make your last few
hours on earth the most painful. Your most useless - actually destructive -
organ is you goddamn brain, you smelly turd.
