Day 3 of the Daniel Riley Trial: Victim impact statements

Janae Edmondson took the witness stand Thursday morning. Janae recounted her father tying a belt tightly around her legs while her mother held her face and told her, "Don't close your eyes. You have to stay awake." She kept repeating those words back to herself when she was taken away in an ambulance without her parents, and she said her eyes were open all the way to the hospital.

It’s sad to see him sit there in the courtroom with no remorse for his action for what he took from Janae I pray the judge and jurors give him the maximum sentence possible on all charges but that still won’t be enough for Janae because she is still living the life she was given by someone reckless behavior behind the wheel of their action Janae stay strong and know that God got you covered, I been praying for you and your family every since this happened and will continue praying 🙏🏾 for you and your family ❤❤❤

Girl, spill your testimony. Watch Jesus continue to transform your life. Tell the world, you should write a book.

Yes, Jesus really blessed her didn't he! You'll be telling me he made her get up and walk next!🤡🥱🙄

@@Goozo612 Jesus came to save from spiritual death which is worst than physical death. It is better to go to heaven without an eye or without your legs than to go to hell with your whole body and fall into the lake of fire, process that. Jesus did not come to end suffering but to bring spiritual salvation. Keep thinking like this, when your time to depart this realm comes don’t expect Jesus to invite you into his house when you did not really want to be him.
