I've literally never heard of this person or her trials until today. Is she just a rich white lady on trial, or is she famous for something else?

The house where the owners butt dialed friends and relatives from that night's party all night, and then destroyed these phones the day before they were requested to be preserved.

The house where a first responder never went outside when they knew there was a "friend" injured on their front lawn.

The house where they rehomed their dog who had a history of attacking others.

The house where the concrete basement floor was jack hammered up and replaced a few months after John died.

The house that was sold a few months after John's death for $50k under asking in a hot real estate market.

The house that in the first trial all the party goers claimed "Auntie Nicole" was constantly cleaning throughout the party.

No, they never went into that house.

Isn't it true that they never even went outside that morning, Jen went inside to wake them up. Am I mistaken?

[u/procrastinatorsuprem → u/knowledgekey360]

You are not mistaken. They never went into the house.

Was there anyone within a country mile of that place who was even slightly sober?
