"Daniel Alejandro Moreno-Gama, wearing an orange jail uniform, did not speak as his attorney entered the pleas during his arraignment in state court. The 20-year-old also faces federal charges."
"Diamond Ward, the public defender representing Moreno-Gama, said after the hearing that her client was experiencing a mental health crisis and had been excessively charged."
"San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said last month that Moreno-Gama carried out a 'targeted attack on Mr. Altman' and that prosecutors had evidence to substantiate the charges."
Daniel Alejandro Moreno-Gama, 20, pleaded not guilty to charges of attempted murder and arson after allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail at OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's home. The incident occurred last month, igniting an exterior gate. Moreno-Gama also faces federal charges and reportedly threatened to burn down OpenAI's headquarters shortly after. His attorney claims he was experiencing a mental health crisis and requested a mental health evaluation, which the judge granted. Prosecutors assert that the attack was targeted, with evidence supporting the charges.
