According to WPTV, his statement read: “The victims’ relatives have written to us stating they have no objections to this plea. Some of them didn’t want him in jail at all. One person asked us to drop the case totally. What is the right sentence in this case? No amount of prison time will reunite the victims with their families. We believe that this is a suitable resolution. This case is a tragedy.”
