"Schoolgirl, 13, who lured 13-year-old boy to park where he was ambushed by gang and stabbed to death told him to wear sliders and sent attackers a voicenote saying she was 'kind of scared', court hears"
Which part is the journalist defending the accused? I am reading the "kind of scared" part as she was scared of getting busted for murdering the kid, and this effectively proved her guilt. Without more information we don't know the context or the intent.

I'm not sure what sliders are.
I read the scared part differently, that it's trying to imply she was too scared to back out.
That's fair. I think it is left a little too open to decide one way or another about the journalist.
Oh, and sliders are shoes. IIRC, it's very hard to run while wearing them.
