Remember when you were a teenager, and your buddy said they'd pay you $5 if you did something daring? Think prank calling the hot guy from chemistry class or dropping your drawers to show the full moon. Stupid. Silly. But there's nothing silly about the allegations from a 17-year-old who doused a then 15-year-old middle schooler with alcohol so he could be lit on fire and burned nearly to death back in 2009. Denver Colorado "D.C." Jarvis has already been convicted of attempted second-degree murder in the burning of Michael Brewer three years ago. But now he's testifying in the trial of one of his alleged accomplices, and he's claiming that it was the promise of $5 or $10 that made him do it. Five dollars. He says he tried to kill someone for $5.![]()
