Among the most gripping statements to the court during the sentencing was that of a bank teller who was there during the robbery.

``I was among the 25 people in the bank. There is not a day that goes by that we do not relive that tragedy,'' Rachel Harp said. ``We were threatened with guns held to our heads. We were kicked and left on the ground as if we did not matter.''

She wept as she went on: ``I was only 22 years old and it changed me. Life's journeys change us, but this one was not for the better. We were all victims.''

You may not have read this section carefully enough. This is not one of the defendants speaking, but rather a victim impact statement introduced by the prosecution.

Well, it certainly SOUNDS like something that Olson/Soliah (who led a very carefree life and wrote a cookbook with a mocking title before she was Caught) would have said, so I make no apologies.
