Judge Skeptical of Edison’s Attempt to Shift Blame to County Agencies
Courthouse News Service reported that a Los Angeles Superior Court judge appeared skeptical of Southern California Edison’s cross-complaint seeking to shift responsibility for the Eaton Fire onto Los Angeles County, Pasadena, Sierra Madre, water agencies, and first responders. The hearing shows how aggressively Edison is trying to deflect responsibility as litigation continues. Survivors should expect a long fight over accountability, but the core issue remains simple: families need full recovery support, not years of finger-pointing.
