Family of Dead Victim Addresses Killer Transcribe * [Mother:] “I don’t know exactly what happened or why, never told us. But I can tell you what happened after she died. I received her back to me in pieces. The sweet girl I gave birth to is an intelligent educated woman with multiple degrees, one a Master’s in physics. Her brains were really blown out. I picked up her head and walked to wash and dress her, and felt a sticky mush that clung to my hands.” [Brother:] “What do you say to man that has murdered someone who is close to you? I say this: What I see before me is a weak man, a mere coward. “You’re with some friends out one night, told my sister that you would give her right on, then you brought her to a secluded area, told her to get out, pointing a .357 handgun at her head, and for the thrill of it, you shot her point blank in the head for no apparent reason other than to kill someone just to test out a gun and watch a 35-year-old woman who didn’t even know die. “I can only imagine the terror she must have felt in her final moments, and it haunts me to this day. I don’t understand this. Why’d you do it? The only answer I could come up with is that our society continues to fight the battle between good and evil. You, sir, are evidence that as we continue to fight this battle. You’re the face of evil and it must be destroyed. Whenever I hear your name, I picture the devil himself.” [Sister:] “I know you’re angry about the two—I shudder to even call them people—who were with you that night, who sold you the gun, and who urged you to kill my sister and who celebrated with you after it… that they were basically given slaps on the wrist, while you’re going to prison. “And I agree with you. They are just as guilty as you are, and it makes me sick to know they’re not being punished for what they’ve done. Oregon law needs to change so those who are accessories to crime pay for lives they’ve destroyed.”
