Rafferty is still crying.

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.

They have been thrown into a world of pain, confusion, and anger." Doreen's statement.

RaffertyLFP: I have witnessed the emotional breakdown of all of Tori's family, she says.

RaffertyLFP: Memories are all we have, she says

No words could replace a happy little girl taken from this earth. Nothing could justify keeping #Rafferty on it. How I'd feel as her mother.
