Dwight’s lawyer came after us hard.

He claimed Finn had been coached.

He claimed the burn was an accident.

He claimed Brandi was the real problem and Dwight was “only a houseguest.”

That final argument was the one that sank him, because it was the one Brandi’s lawyer couldn’t accept.

Within a week, the two defendants quit pretending they were on the same team.

Brandi’s lawyer phoned mine.

“My client is willing to cooperate,” he said.
