But the defense argues that it was an accident inside the toy chest.

How are we still talking about this toy chest?

Like, it feels irrelevant at this point.

I guess because the ruling is undetermined.

And maybe, maybe because this idea about a kid dying by being locked in a toy chest didn't just come out of thin air for this case.

I mean, I did a quick Google search and there are stories of children, mostly younger than JoJo, getting stuck in toy chests.

And I think it's a lot of these like old chests that are often passed down like family heirlooms.

And they obviously don't pass like modern safety checks or anything like that.

But like that's not what JoJo was in.

Well, that's what I'm saying.

It's important to know that at this hearing, they established that the cedar chest in JoJo's room was not

even originally designed as a toy chest.

It's kind of like what you're saying you have.

It was like this vintage Lane Cedar Hope chest thing manufactured decades ago, like 1956.

And to be fair, like over the years, certain Lane Cedar chests with like automatically locking lids had been subject to recalls.

Children had gotten trapped inside them.

Sadly, some had even suffocated.

So historically, this is not unheard of.

And at first glance, sure, like if

Similar chests had trapped children before.
