#NEW: Becky Patty, Libby German’s grandmother, shares photos of the victim impact statements made by her family today. I’ll share hers first, and then will share the two other statements in separate posts. Becky opened with these powerful words — “Where does one start? How does one explain the effect of how one choice a person makes has on an entire family for generations to come? I don't think one can really explain and do it justice. There are not enough words in our language that begins to paint the picture of the grief we live with each and every day.”She added another written note to finish off her statement.
#NEW: Below are photos of the impact statement made by Libby German’s grandfather, Mike Patty. He opened by thanking the judge, the prosecutors, the investigation team and his family. He then gave a direct message to the defense. “One should reflect and review their position to support Truth, Justice and the American way. Your inept ability to protect some of the most personal facts in this case, the crime scene photos. And making statements that you really didn't care they were out there. My family will forever have to explain how these are available for people to search,” he said.
#NEW: Below are photos of the victim impact statement made by Libby German’s first cousin, Josh Lank. He thanked law enforcement and the prosecution and then explained the impact Libby had on him. He finished his statement by asking Gull to hand down the maximum sentence. “I would like to leave you with this, God doesn't have a place for sick, twisted minded individuals like Richard Allen.“
#NEW: Libby German’s mother, Carrie Timmons, shares her victim impact statement made in court today. Near the end, she addressed #RichardAllen and added "put me on your visitors list. I will listen.” She said that in reference to waiting for an apology from Allen.
