New details about sailor charged with setting blaze on USS Bonhomme Richard

The attorney for the sailor charged with setting USS Bonhomme Richard fire said he didn't play a role in setting the fire, denied that he was embittered against the Navy.

The attorney for the sailor charged with setting last year's fire aboard the USS Bonhomme Richard maintains that his client did not play a role in setting the fire and denied that he was embittered against the Navy after dropping out of SEAL training, as suggested in a federal search warrant unsealed earlier this week. When the Navy announced the charges last week it declined to disclose the sailor's name, but earlier this week federal prosecutors requested the unsealing of a federal search warrant, requested last year, to assist in the sailor's legal defense. That search warrant requested access to the online files of 20-year-old Seaman Apprentice Ryan Sawyer Mays who was a sailor assigned to the ship while it was docked in San Diego for long-term maintenance. The Navy and Mays' attorney confirmed Wednesday to ABC News that he was the sailor charged with setting the fire, which ultimately led to the decommissioning of the amphibious ship.
