I truly hope that all the families involved can get their lives back on track.

I never expected or believed I could commit this horrible crime. I can only hope that I can be an example to others.

I do not ask for mercy for myself. As you have heard, there were many times when I didn't care whether I lived or died.

I do not ask for mercy for myself. The only reason I ask for you to give me a life sentence is for the sake of my family.

I just wanted to die that day.

I take full responsibility for the crimes. . . . I knew I was wrong, but I couldn't stop.
