Dennis Rocha

Victim Impact Statement:  Sentencing

March 16, 2005

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

ROCHA: Scott, you're a real wonderful man, you know that? A piece of shit is what you are.

JUDGE: Mr. Rocha, I understand this is very unpleasant, but I want you to use some civility when you address the defendant.

ROCHA: Boy, you kill your own baby and you kill Laci. Why didn't you get a divorce? You know, then you could have been with Amber and we wouldn't have to be going through all this, you know; but why? Because you're a narcissist, plus a liar, and I knew, I never did like you at the beginning because you were always so arrogant, thought you were better than everybody else; a rich boy from San Diego and we're just farm people. Laci loved you and I, and I respected her feelings, so that's why, you know, you're in love with yourself, is your problem. You planned on killing her; why did you kill your own son? Why kind of person are you?  Boy, I tell you, you're going to burn in hell for this, too; I tell you, you are. You know, you're not going to lie to God. You're going to be just sitting there in your cell. No more golfing. You know you're not going to golf no more? You're not going to go to dinner. No more women. You know, your life is done for. I hope you realize that. You're going to realize it. And you're going to burn in hell for that, too. I've got no more to say to you.
