Navy recruit, 21, is found NOT GUILTY of 2020 arson that gutted USS Bonhomme Richard and caused $1.2B in damage - as it's revealed there was a SECOND suspect who was kicked out of service

Seaman Recruit Ryan Mays was found not guilty of setting the fire that destroyed USS Bonhomme Richard in July 2020

Prosecutors failed to present enough evidence which tied Mays to the arson

The ship burned for more than four days and caused an estimated $1.2 billion in damages

Mays' defense introduced information that the Navy had another suspect they gave up on after the sailor was kicked out of the service

'Sailor E.M.' was seen 'sprinting' from the location the flame began
