William Reid's sister read a statement from her niece and it started with a happy memory of the last two visits when he went to see his family in New York. Then she read the following words from her niece:"It wasn't his sudden death, but the way he died that left my family heartbroken. It hasn't done any good for me to focus on the horrible death and the horrible individuals who killed my uncle. That is why I want you (the Judge) to hear the goofy stories and memories of my uncle."
Then Ms. Reid showed the Judge a picture of her brother. She presented the Judge with a petition signed by 700 people who want justice for William Reid's death. She said the people who suffered most were her parents. Her mother had been hospitalized with lung cancer around the time the family learned about his death. This was in addition to the breast cancer she had. This was the second child her parents had lost. Since the loss of her brother, her mother passed away. Her father is in hospital now, too weak to even write a victim statement. "This case has broken him."
Ms. Reid cried as she recalled learning how her brother had died. "My God, give us a sign that he was already dead" when his body was burned. "Limmie Curry threw my brother away like garbage but it is Limmie Curry who is garbage. He is a sociopath. Only a sociopath would throw a Superbowl party after violently murdering my brother."
William Reid's sister described the horror of visiting her brother's home and discovering his burnt belongings under the leaves touching her feet. She broke down at this point, paused a bit and then continued.
"He's been silenced forever, Limmie Curry took that light from us"
