I have thought a lot about what Christine was thinking during those final moments before she died.

The thought of her not being able to hug and protect her child.

I've thought about Joseph Ryan, how scared and confused he and Christine must have been in those moments.

And when the judge concluded this hearing with these strong words, she said it perfectly, that this was a trap.

This was a deadly trap.

And the repercussions for so many are extreme.

You know, the final piece to this long puzzle is in place at the moment, right?

But this isn't completely over.

Now, if Banfield appeals, it depends on what happens during that process of what the next steps for this case could be.

I hope that the families here, both sides, have some sort of comfort knowing that the two people found responsible

one defendant from a plea, another one from a jury, that they are behind bars in the here and now.

They're completely cut off from the outside world.
