First of all, it was Christine's sister, Daniel Hawker.
The family of the other victim, Joseph Ryan, was also there.
His mother addressed the court.
Joe wasn't the disposable caricature.
He was made out to be.
He had a face.
He had a name.
He had a life.
But Brendan Banfield shot his face.
Soiled his name.
And treated his life as disposable.
Brendan Banfield gave a statement, too.
What did he have to say for himself?
Yeah, Brendan Banfield gave an 11-minute speech.
He was practically relitigating the case.
I was found guilty of a crime that I did not commit.
It is actually impossible to have committed the crime.
As the prosecution, their experts, and their witnesses have presented.
What was his demeanor like while he was talking to the court?
It was pretty cold and flat.
