 Matthew was convinced that his older brother was the murderer.When they took the stand and each had to enter their plea of ""guilty, or not guilty"" Matthew was once again angry at Jimmy for not "confessing".When the prosecution learned that Louise Appleton was involved in a car crash and that she admitted that she and fiance Hari Prasad were lying, they had no choice but to inform the court and after hearing this the judge decided that the prosecution no longer had sufficient evidence to warrant a trial and immediately dropped all charges against the brothers.
