[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - Ryan Sawyer Mays 20, is attending a hearing Monday that will determine whether there's enough evidence against him to proceed with a trial
- He is charged with aggravated arson and willful hazarding of a vessel related to the torching of the $1.2 billion Bonhomme Richard warship in July 2020
- He appeared for the pretrial hearing in uniform, despite dropping out of the Navy SEAL training program
- Investigators were led to Mays after interviewing the 177 service members assigned to the Bonhomme Richard, according to an NCIS search warrant
- At least 63 people were injured, including 18 firefighters who filed workers' compensation for suffering concussions
- An internal investigation determined the fire was 'preventable' and placed some of the blame on members of the ship's 'inadequately prepared crew'
