We were pleasantly surprised. We are very pleased. My dad was very moved, even to tears. We just feel that [Hernandez] was negligent. This could have been prevented.

It's bittersweet. We're sad that she's not here to celebrate her birthday.

We just want something good to come out of this. We don't want my mother to have died in vain.

We're not telling you that you can't have pets, we're not telling you can't have a guard dog. What were telling you is that if you have a pet or a guard dog that has the capabilities of doing what they did to my mother, that you need to be responsible in the way that you care for them and contain them.

Sometimes people hear that and they get real fearful. But we're not talking about a dog bite. We're talking about serious bodily injury or death.

    Oh, devil, devil!
If that the earth could teem with woman’s tears,
Each drop she falls would prove a crocodile.
Out of my sight!
