đź’¨ Abstract

In a trial in Loudoun County, Virginia, a jury is deliberating the case of Roger Bentley, a former propane service technician. He is accused of involuntary manslaughter and code violations after a 2024 explosion at a Sterling home that killed a volunteer firefighter and injured 11 others. Prosecutors assert that Bentley failed to properly address a propane leak, leaving the homeowner unaware of the danger.
