Michelle Ryan

And me and Robert were like, what is, is this normal?

Like, well, we don't understand as to what's going on.

And, you know, we couldn't get over the amount of public support that we had got.

It was absolutely phenomenal.

And still to this day, like now that I'm here speaking, I just want to thank each and every person that stood behind us and supported us.

The amount of strength that they gave us

to us to keep going every day.

It was just, it was phenomenal.

Like, you know, they're kind words.

It was just, it was so real.

Like, this was a devastating part of our lives yet again.

And they, somehow or another, like, public estrangers, they were able to take, you know, our mood and just lift it a small bit for us by saying, you know, like, Daddy, like,

they're here for daddy.

You know that kind of thing?

It was never about me and Robert, but this was like, they're here for daddy and they want to see justice done for daddy.

It was absolutely surreal.

Now, bringing in the stools, as I said, I remember, I think, was it for...

Was it the day he was convicted?

If you wanted to stand at the bottom of the court and throw a pin in, I think it actually hit somebody on the back of the head because there was not enough room.

The place was absolutely jointed.
