“If the State lets her out of that jail and she crosses my path again, I fear what could happen to be honest with you.

“She put my beautiful daughter into a grave and to think she could walk the streets again, I couldn’t live like that.

“This is not a world for me and her. I don’t look at her as a woman. She is the devil.

“I fear if she got out and she crossed my path, there could be war on the street.”
