While sharing an update on the case in a recent interview with Piers Morgan, Glandian stated that the brothers have been kept in harsh conditions inside the prison. She also added that being a controversial public figure isn’t a crime and the authorities are yet to provide proof against them. Thus, she believes the Tate brothers are innocent until proven guilty, which is a fair point.
