“I would like to thank you, Judge, for doing your job in D.C. And I always respected you even before you had this position. I also want to thank all the detectives and everybody who has worked tirelessly on this case,” Tamara said through tears. “It was a shock. We heard for the first time from your news conference what exactly happened with Eric and what kind of guns.”

“I just, we are very, very thankful and hopefully that this will continue of finding all these for all these homicide victims that they will get their due justice too for their families because it’s not fun to be in this club,” she continued. “And my heart goes out to all the other families who have lost children to senseless homicide. And thank you so much.”
