I feel elated, most grateful that no one else was hurt.

Until they were apprehended, they were merely paper photographs to me. It's very difficult to have a name and a face for the men who hurt my child.

I think it starts at the very top with the elected officials, goes to the appointed officials, goes to the Department of Criminal Justice ... and down to the prison employees who were very lax that day.

Now we can get down to business and get some changes in this lousy Texas penal system. My son will not die in vain.

It just hurt. It's not what our idea of Fayetteville was at this time. We figured we had gone a whole lot further than that.

From what I understand, no one's hurt, but my mom wouldn't tell me if she's not doing well anyway. She wouldn't want me to worry.
