for them. as you know, they have sat here for four weeks. i don't know how hard it was. we were with them every step of the way. what they had to endure, the pain of hearing gunshot after gunshot after gunshot say, staying calm, faces of their son in the morgue time and time again as late as yesterday. upon our advice, we recommended to them they should go home and attend their home church since we were going into sunday. so upon our advice, they went home to go to church tomorrow. and that's what they'll do. >> mr. crutch and mr. parks. hello. i think mr. parks, you may have answered this question in part but i'll ask it again if i can. where was the family when the announcement was made in court tonight, and did they skip this because they expected a particular outcome? >> well, i'll just say they were in a safe location and remain in a safe location. they will be going to church tomorrow but i won't disclose the location at this time for security purposes.
