Sharon: There is an unbrearable sadness in my life. The cott I knew was the one Laci loved and I entrusted her to him. You made a conscious decision decision to murder them and you planned and executed their murders, yes you did. You threw them away like a piece of garbage. Your arogance led you to believe you were smarter than evryone else but you were dead worng. You are not intelligent at all, you are stupid. Stupid to think murder was your only way out of a marriege. You atended a xamas party with your girlfriend while your pregnantwife went to a party alone. There was no way for me to know on 12/15 that it was the last time I would see my daughter but you knew. You are lazy, spoiled, self centred and a coward but above all, you ae an evil murderer. Not even satan will claim to have a part in your make up. You Scott are proof that evil can lurk anywhere. You don't have to look evil to be evil. Why did you mureder her? That's an answer we'll never get. How dare you murder her? I want her and always will. I trusted her and you betrayed her, me and everyone. She didn't stand a chance physically against you Scott, How did that make you feel? Did you feel accomplishment, relief they were gone? There's a huge whole in my heart and it will never heal. I miss Laci, miss teasing her, hearing her giggle, miss her telling me about plans and recipes. I miss being my daughter's mother.

SR: I'll never meet my grndson becasue his own father murdered him. L didn't know the SP that sits in this courtroom. She loved you but she didn't need you Scott. I find solace in the thought that you dsentenced yourself to death when you murdered Lai. You took it upon yourslef to be her judge, jury and executioner. I want you to get what you deserve which is death. You didn't count on Laci's spirit being so strong. Stroonger than your evilness. L was buried without arms to hold her baby, without a head to smell him in her ams. You have no idea what that thought does to my soul. I look at her picture and I am haunted of pictures of you murdering her. Did she know you were murdering her? Did you look her in the eye while you were murdering her? Was she conscious when you put her in the bay? Nothing will ever undo your evil. You deserve to be oput to death asap. What were you thinking as you were killing Laci? What do you think she was thinking? I'll tell you what I think she was thinking: Scott why are you killing me? You know how much I love you. You promised to take care of me. Scott I don't want to die, please stop. And your son was thinking, Daddy why are you killing us, we don't want to die.

Harriet Ryan:
Most fireworks ever witnessed in a courtroom sentencing.

SP was alone when he was sentenced because his parents had left the courtroom earlier when BR was testifying. The jurors were sobbing by the end. Brochinni was weeping in the courtroom.

All of the statements by the family were aimed at trying to get a response from SP. SR spoke about getting into Laci and Conner's thought as they were being killed. And into SP's thoughts as he was murdering them. WHY? WHY? WHY? At that point he jerked his head back. Every other witness he stared down. When she said You planned and executed these murders! and SP was shaking his head, SR paused for a long fice seconds and then said, "Yes you did, Scott, yes you did."

Harriet Ryan reports that Scott jerked his head back once when Sharon Rocha kept asking him why. Scott stared everyone else down.

Harriet Ryan reports that Mark Geragos played it very low key after arriving five minutes late for court. Scott sat all alone looking down at the defense table when the attorneys spent fifteen minutes in the judge's chambers.

Scott was dressed in a black suit with hands shackled and a leather belt around his waist. No laughing today. Feet not shackled.

Judge D made point to say that he agreed with the jury that there was a betrayal of trust beteen the perpetrator and the victims, as a husband and father.

SP was talking to tMG throughout the judge giving his sentence.

Harriet Ryan reports that Brent Rocha actually went out and bought himself a gun in January 2003. The only reason he didn't use it on Scott is because he wanted Scott to sweat it out.
