She might believe he’s innocent, since it is her brother and all... I could never imagine my own siblings doing anything like that, and would bankrupt myself to clear them if I thought they were innocent.

I can see the weather forecast: the skies will be raining down with litigation over this one.

“police and FBI concluded their investigation into the crime scene prior to Friday morning”

That’s like WAY quicker than it ever takes even on any TV show. Something just doesn’t seem right.

ETA: Srsly: Something seems quite wrong, procedurally with this. The actions of the new crew make it seem surreal and part of the…

That being said though (Thanks Jon!), replying with “they deserve to be believed at first until they’re disbelieved based on evidence” is a pretty good spur of the moment reply. She could have refused to answer or said something stupid about it not being relevant or something.
