claimed she tried to save her son from his upstairs bedroom but the smoke was too much. The officers that morning said Diar did not have any soot or smell strongly of smoke as she would if she had tried to save her son during the fire. Jacob's autopsy could not determine cause of death but did suggest that he died before the fire was started due to the lack of soot and evidence of smoke inhalation in his lungs. Judge Kosma Glavas sentenced Diar to the death penalty after it was suggested by the Ohio jury in
October 2005. The Ohio Supreme Court overturned her death sentence in 2008 because the Jury was not told ahead of time that just one of them could have changed her death sentence by refusing to consider execution. Diar suggested a bargain to prosecutors where she agreed to spend her life in prison and avoid future legal challenges if her death sentence is overturned.

She claimed someone broke into her house and stole the keys and money orders she was supposed to use to pay the rent for that month. Due to that she got help from her neighbor, Leroma Penn, to change her front doorknob lock and add a deadbolt to the backdoor. Diar purposely told Penn to refrain from changing the strike plate on the front door. Although it was sticking, causing trouble opening the door, she wanted to be able to hear if an intruder was trying to get in.

Diar would often leave Jacob at home with young, teen babysitters so she could go out to bars and parties for the night. One babysitter, Luis Agosto, recalls being told to give Jacob a "medicine for his hyperactivity" so he would get tired and go to sleep decently early. Agosto didn't question it and
