The four friends went back to James' house in Bentonville, Arkansas to watch a Razorbacks football game. According to court documents, these four guys were drinking. At some point, the guys went out to the back patio to have some beers in the hot tub. Sean left first then Owen sometime shortly after midnight, leaving Victor and James alone at the house.   Now James claimed that after that at around 1 AM he went to bed to crash and left Victor in the hot tub.
