"Little did we know that this nightmare would never end"

Christina's uncle, Michael Tostado with his voice breaking talked about receiving a call that Christina had been shot. Knowing his niece he hoped would fight through and survive, only to have his world shattered to be told she was dead. "Little did we know that this nightmare would never end.'

"Why? Why would God allow this to happen? Why was he released from jail? Why would this happen?"

He broke down as well as other family members when he said that the brutal killing was hard enough but to cope with the fact that Christina would never walk down the aisle with her dad, that she would not have children haunts him and Christina's loved ones.,

"Only a person with absolute no regard for life could have taken a life for no reason at all. We plead with the court to never release this animal to society."

He also read his wife, Amy's statement and she talked about wondering how Christina's mother, her sister, will survive now. "The unknown hero Alan tried to save her life from a vicious animal. You hear news of murder in the daily news, you don't think this will happen to your family."

He thanked Elan and the jurors before he sat down.
