Have any of CB's relatives spoken publicly since the verdict?

Finally! (Their public statement is at the very end of the article.) I wonder if their response may be muted because of any ongoing custody matters for Valerie? As I understand it, Brendan's family has had sole custody this whole time since the murders.

I was glad they called out the lies about CB told during the trial. That had to be devastating for them to listen to.

That was a beautiful statement. They sound like wonderful sincere people, as does their daughter. I hope they are able to have some relationship with their granddaughter as none of the above adjectives apply to BB’s mother.

ETA - I hope more Justice is coming to Juliana on Friday im the form of the maximum incarceration allowable.
