Summary

After two years of delays, countless courtroom antics, and a trial that defied belief, the jury finally reaches a verdict. Bradley Yohn’s fate is sealed—but the surprises aren’t over yet. As Tina Lohman’s family delivers raw and heartbreaking impact statements, the judge hands down a sentence that stuns the courtroom. But even with justice served, the question lingers—why did this happen? And how does a family move forward from something so horrific?
