Amy Sharee Rocha

Victim Impact Statement:  Sentencing

March 16, 2005

D. HARRIS: The next family member is Amy Rocha.

JUDGE: Amy Rocha.

ROCHA: I never would have thought that the last time I would have got to hug Laci would have been on December 23rd, 2002, but because of you, Scott, that was the last time, the last time I even got to see her. Do you remember that night I cut your hair and I asked you what you wanted for Christmas? Why did you say all that you wanted for Christmas was the baby? You lied. You knew at that time that's not what you wanted, and you wanted just to say anything just to please me. You have broken my heart and our whole family's heart. You're a selfish and evil person. You have put our whole family through hell. You let us agonize for months about Laci, where Laci and Conner were and what had happened to them, and yet you knew the whole time. I can't believe at one time I actually thought I wanted to find someone like you, but now I pray I never do. You are a monster because of what you've done, and it frightens me to be by myself and I will never be able to live my life the same. Laci and Conner were never able to live their lives because of what you did. Now, because of you I will never get to see Laci become a mom and me be an aunt to Baby Conner. I was looking so forward to helping her and to be able to live close to you guys. I will never get to have Laci and Conner in my life because of you. You took them away from all of us. You are a coward and selfish person. Now, my holidays and our whole family's holidays will never be the same. We will never get to enjoy any holidays or birthdays again without Laci and Conner. Because of you we were never even given the chance to meet Conner, and we will never be able to see Laci and Conner grow together. Their lives were so important and you acted like they were not. I can't believe you would murder my sister and your wife and your son. You are a sick person with no heart, and you will pay for what you've done, and you deserve everything that's coming to you. The only comfort I have is knowing you will be suffering every day for the rest of your life until you die, and no punishment you receive on earth will ever compare to the punishment that God will give you once you die.
