The sentence is still to be decided for Sullivan, life or death.

If there was something else I could do

to Jim or the state could do to Jim that would be worse than the death penalty, I would go for that.

Lita's family is allowed to testify to the suffering that Jim Sullivan has caused.

Should I forgive him?

I will not.

No one from Jim Sullivan's own family steps forward to defend him.

He's been estranged from his four children for years, and his eldest son James hardly can contain his contempt.

Meaning?

There's just something about this person that's inherently evil.

Sullivan's brother, Frank, definitely agrees.

The best man at Jim's first wedding, he is certainly not in his corner today.

We, the jury, unanimously fix the sentence at life imprisonment without parole.

Not the death penalty, but without a successful appeal, Jim Sullivan certainly will die in prison.

And prosecutors give Belinda Trahan a lot of credit for the verdict.

Have you been sorry at any point that you stepped forward with this?

He's taken something that we can't ever get back.

There is no closure when you've lost a child.
