Chapter 10 - THE SMART HOME LOGOur kitchen had a smart-home system.
Lights.
Thermostat.
Security.
One ceiling camera facing the rear entry.
Not the stove.
No video of the burn.
Jason said that proved nothing.
Correct.

Not full conversation.
Six seconds.
My voice:
“Jason, put it—”
His:
“Then stop touching my—”
Crash.
My scream.
Not enough.
No visible act.
But his sworn statement initially said:
“I was across the kitchen when Iris accidentally pulled the pot.”
Audio placed him close enough to speak over me.

A small contradiction.
Not a solved case.
