When the police interviewed the brother, at the end of the brother's statement, the brother made a comment along the lines of, you know, I didn't go upstairs. I didn't see what happened. I didn't see her do it. You know, I don't know what happened. Maybe she lit him on fire.

Why the brother would say that, I have no idea. Not to be disparaging of the brother because he lost his sister. It was traumatic. So I'm not trying to beat the brother up here, but let's be honest.

The defense lawyers made the argument that she was drunk. She had a lot of alcohol in her system. The defense lawyers said that at trial that she also had drugs in her system, but there was no proof of that at all. There was proof of alcohol in her system, though, to be fair.
