>> IN JUST A SHORT TIME AGO,
JURORS HEARD FROM REGINA HOYER,
THE MOTHER OF LUKE HOYER, TWO
THINGS SHE SAID THAT YOU COULD
TELL MOVE THE JURORS, ONE WHEN
SHE TALKED ABOUT HOW SHE HAS
PRESERVED HIS ROOM SINCE THE
DAY OF THE SHOOTING.
HASN’T EVEN MOVED THE PHONE
CHARGER OR GLASSES ON THE
NIGHTSTAND.
AND HOW SHE FEELS THE VOID IN
EVERYDAY THINGS LIKE LOOKING AT
THE PASSENGER SEAT.
SHE JUST PRETENDS HE IS THERE,
PRETENDS THAT SHE IS STROKING
HIS CHEEK HE STOPPED WHEN SHE
SAW IT AND THE SOUND YOU ARE
ABOUT TO HEAR FROM THE MOB THIS
IS THE MOMENT WHERE ONE OF THE
JURORS STARTS TO BREAK DOWN AND
CRY.
TAKE A LISTEN.
>> USED TO SAY TO MY HUSBAND AS
I WOULD WATCH LEE PLAY OR HE
WAS MAKING US LAUGH, TOM, WHAT
WOULD WE DO WITHOUT HIM?
NEVER WHEN I SPOKE THOSE WORDS
THAT I EVER IMAGINED I WOULD
KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT
QUESTION.
ITS EXCRUCIATING AGONY, IS MISSI
MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY WILL
NEVER BE THE SAME.
WE ONLY HAD 15 YEARS WITH MY
PRECIOUSLY BEAR BUT I WILL
TREASURE THESE MOMENTS AND
MEMORIES OF HIM FOR THE REST OF
MY LIFE.
I WAS SO LUCKY TO BE HIS MOM.
>> IN THOSE MOMENTS THE JURORS

FAMILY MEMBERS THAT THERE IS

WHAT THE HE JUST TOLD THE

HIM SAY BEFORE, ONE OF HIS
BIGGEST REGRETS IS VALENTINE’S
DAY MORNING RUSHING THE KIDS
OUT, SO MANY PARENTS CAN
RELATE, HE NEVER SAID I LOVE
