Schenecker is going to speak now.

Apolgizes to everyone in the courtroom.
Anybody who knew our family, Beau, our childrens friends, teachers, coaches, aunts, grandparents...
Everyone has been so deeply affected.
I understand has been affected by this by reading it in the paper... Mommy are you going to shoot me...
I take responsibility.
I was there.
I know. I know I shot my son and daughter.
I don't know why.
....try to understand that.

Your honour, the judicial system of the United States is the best in the world ...(compares it to Sharia law)....

mentions she was a soldier in '83

I'm an American fighting man...I am prepared to give my life to protect our country...

I believe in you, what you've done. You've run a great court...you conrolled the court tremendously well.

[Thanks her attorneys.]

I have no way to repay these

Thank you to the entire American Judicial system..
I'm not playing your honour.

I know our children are in heaven.. I want people to try to find comfort in believing as I do that they are in no pain and they are alive and they are enjoying everything ..has to offer. Jesus protect me now...until we get there... to join them.

Your honor - I'm prepared and I accept your sentence.

I apologize to everybody in this courtroom who I've broken, for the lives I have destroyed. And not just this courtroom -- anybody who knew our family, Calyx and Beau, our children's friends, teachers, coaches, our relatives...everyone has been so deeply affected, and I understand. There are people who have been affected by this that may have just read about it in the paper. For the children who wonder, "Mommy are you ever going to shoot me?"

I apologize for what happened, what I did, I take responsibility. I was there. I know I shot my son and daughter. I don't know why.

Your honor, the judicial system in the U.S. is the best in the world. (indistinct)...I'm proud to stand in front of you. (indistinct)..and to serve my country...(indistinct)...I'm an American fighting man...and I'm prepared to give my life in their defense

I trust and I believe in you...you run a great court...I thank my attorneys who supported me so well, and put in many many hours on this case. I will never be able to repay...but to say thank you.

Thank you to the entire American judicial system. I am not playing, your honor -- that is heartfelt.

I know our children are in Heaven.. I want people to try to find comfort, as I do, that they are in no pain, and they are alive and enjoying everything and anything Heaven has to offer. Jesus protecting them and keeping them safe until we get there.

That's all your honor.
