I wonder if any of the media will have the full statements later quoted, so we can read them in their entirety. I feel like we missed some stuff just with tweets.

I hope not. It's too late for any words from him.

Emotional impact statement from Tori's brother at #rafferty trial. Incredibly honest. Raw.

Avery Moore ‏ @AveryFreeFMNews
Darryn ends with: "Now I am lost without her, trying to move on without my baby sister and best friend. That's all"

 

[puppyraiser]

I hope they post the statements word for word and how each was written. Rob Stafford's has a message spelled out with the first letter of each line.

Rodney Stafford, Tori's dad, says he can see the void in his family's eyes because they have realized that evil does exist.

How dare MTR sit there and try to pass of his tears as feeling bad about what he's done! Those tears are nothing but an act to try and get some sort of break with his sentencing! GO TO H**L MTR! Even though that place is too good for you.

You would think someone so empathetic and expressive with their emotions would have been moved to tears by the autopsy photos and horrendous evidence that was presented day after day. Funny he only had eye rolling expressions of his emotions on those days. What changed? Oh yeah, he has been convicted is about to be judged. If I was the judge it would make me madder that he was crying than sitting their stoically like he has all along. Rant over.

I will join in with your Rant! As someone who has watched and kept my mouth pretty much sealed up until this moment...I think the judge should ignore his tears! He ignored the tears of the little girl's life he took and than after the family's tears for 3 LONG months after as they tried everything they could to bring her home! He was emotionless the ENTIRE trial up until now! Now he choices to "break down" ..is he just now relizing that he took the life of a little girl into his own hands! ..some might say...better late than never! But honestly in my eyes may he rot in h*ll right next to PB! No amount of tears he can sheed will make up for what he and TLM did to that INNOCENT little girl!
Cant promise this is the end of my rant..lol...this man makes my blood boil! And head spin!
