FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — There was no plot to attack Michael Brewer, his former friend Jeremy Jarvis said Tuesday. There was no organized scheme to surround him, pour rubbing alcohol on him and set him ablaze in a dispute over money.
Jarvis, 13, wasn’t permitted by his lawyer to explain how the Oct. 12 attack occurred, but he did say it wasn’t planned.
Jarvis was the youngest of the five teens originally accused in the attack on Brewer, who suffered second- and third-degree burns over two-thirds of his body. He is in guarded condition at the Jackson Memorial Hospital Burn Center in Miami. The hospital released a photo taken Monday night of Brewer in a recliner, a blanket covering most of his body.
