Newman told the court: "I arrived [at] Jaime’s house around 7:45 a.m. I knocked on the door and was greeted by the boys. I went inside and I saw Jaime sitting on her knees on the floor, wearing a navy blue and white varsity, her hair was in pigtails and she appeared to not be wearing any pants (or maybe had short shorts on). There were two men there."

He continued: "Jaime looked distressed, strung out and was acting drunk. She gestured for me to come over to her because she tried to get up but could not stand. Jaime was slurring her words and said, 'Those are bad boys.' We have to do something about our boys. Their behavior is not right.'"

The dad also said his sons told him, "Jaime and her friends frequently smoke inside the house with the doors and windows closed", with them around.
