LOL Was she at the Court ?

If this is true, then does this mean a custodial sentence is in store for her ? as surely a suspended sentence could have been given to her today ?

There was always arisk of custodial sentence. I though they might get suspended sentences but it would seem unfair if they did now after JI was held in custody for months.

At least their child/ren get at least one parent there for Xmas

Becky Watts: Family statements in full

Here are the family statements that were read out in court this morning

Statement from Tanya Watts:

I am Tanya Watts, the mother of Rebecca Marie Watts born 3rd June 1998. She was known to me and others as Becky.

This is my Victim Personal Statement (VPS) about how Becky's murder has had an impact not only on my life, but also that of my son, Daniel Watts, and my mother, Pat Watts. Becky has always very much been a big part of our lives since the day she was born. Mum was in the hospital with me when I had Becky and was the first person to hold Becky.

Danny was always a lovely, protective big brother to Becky. Yes they had their little fallouts as teenage brothers/sisters do; but whether they were with me or their Dad, the two of them always lived with each other and were there for one another.... (Continued at link)

Statement from Darren Galsworthy:

My name is Darren Galsworthy and I am the father of Rebecca Watts now known as 'Bristol's Angel'.

Our Bex was a child who through no fault of her own needed constant reassurance, love and cuddles in her formative years.

She soon clung to my wife Anjie who became not only a doting mother but Becky's best friend. Anjie's love was so immense nobody lost out. It didn't matter that we were a mish-mash of gene pools, we were a strong loving family who shared and supported each other.

We will never understand why this happened but we now believe we were just disposable pawns in a plot borne out of hatred, jealousy and greed. (Continued at link)

I'm jumping ahead to say I'm on page 12 reading about NM sniveling, rocking and a guard FINALLY holding his chair while he's told to stop rocking. Give me a freaking BREAK!!! How DARE he make this about HIM when Becky’s family is talking about what he's done to her, to her family and to their whole world. What a piece of $#!+.

And I'm not surprised in the least that SH is showing no emotion. She never did, during the entire time.

Oh, just you wait.

A few pages on she shows LOADS of emotion, shame it's only when it's about her though!

I'm on the edge of my seat here.

We are absolutely on the same page here Rach.. She is Becky's MOTHER she should be considered first.
As for the funeral - again, she should have gone and not felt she was not able to because of AG.
I have been a step mother and always stood back in favour of the mother, even when I really wanted to be at an event.

I totally agree.

But they have been in custody. KD has been in custody on remand throughout, and JP was also in custody until later granted bail.

Judge says "utter devastation" visited on the lives of #beckywatts family

Judge: Becky was a "normal, happy, teenage girl". The jury must have been sure that NM and SH planned to kidnap Becky.

JP hasn't been in as long as JI though so it could seem unfair if she ended up serving less time than him
