On eve of Shaniya Davis murder trial, her father wonders what could have been
The father of Shaniya Davis says he has forgiven her mother.
But Bradley Lockhart said he often finds himself reflecting on what might have been, four years after Shaniya was raped and killed in a case that has attracted national attention.
Shaniya would have turned 9 on Valentine's Day.
"We were extremely close," Lockhart said. "Shaniya spent the majority of time with me and her siblings. You miss those days. The first day she got on a bicycle. Her brother pushing her around with training wheels on it. You miss her scratching your car with a scooter. You miss birthdays. You wonder who she would be today.
"It's extremely hard when you see other kids in the neighborhood and watch them grow up. That's one of my frequent thoughts when I sit on my porch."
