The lawyer for the New York University student accused of setting his sleeping female classmate on fire is arguing there is no proof the victim was not voluntarily participating in the act. Her client, 20-year-old Jaime Castano, allegedly filmed himself setting fire to the bed in his dorm room where his classmate was sleeping in August. In the video, he can be heard singing while the victim wakes up and puts out the blaze. Alyssa Gamliel, Castano’s attorney, said at his arraignment on Tuesday that she does not believe the prosecution “will be able to prove that [the victim] was not sort of participating in some of this activity,” according to the New York Daily News.--Hillary Hanson, The Huffington Post #NotTheOnion
