Freeman pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in the death of Isabella, who died on a night she was staying at her great-grandmother's home. The great-grandmother considered Freeman a trusted friend.

Best is accused of helping Freeman hide Isabella's body in a garbage can a few blocks away from the great-grandmother's house. He took police there the next morning and has pleaded not guilty to tampering with evidence.
