It had to be an accident. Then they wouldn't go to jail. What kind of accident? Drowning in the bathtub 4? Falling down the stairs? They decided on a fire. They would burn the house down. They waited until her mom was asleep. They lit a candle. They put the candle next to the living room drapes. The drapes caught on fire. They ran out of the house. A neighbor smelled smoke.
