The hearing, which drew about people, all but two reporters, was expected to last two days.

The remains of two children – Ciera, 12, and Hannah, 16 – found about 10 days after the crash, respectively, were not in a condition that would allow them to be tested for toxicology, Pizarro testified. A brother, Devonte, 15, is presumed dead but has never been found.
