Michael Brewer was set on fire by some alleged friends in late 2009 and the trial is now finally taking place. Brewer was visibly shaking as the defense attorney grilled him.

The young lad was only able to breathe on a ventilator after the attack where the assailants doused him in rubbing alcohol and set him alight. Brewer was eventually able to breathe on his own and received a huge outpouring of support from family and school chums.
