Victim’s Brother Tells Killer: ‘We Have to Forgive, I Pray God on Your Soul’

‘We have no room for hate, but we have to forgive’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

JUDGE: "Your name, please, ma'am? 
MIDDLETON: "Reverend Depayne was my sister. I want to thank you on behalf of my sister for not allowing hate to win. For me I'm a work in progress, and I acknowledge that I am very angry. But one thing Depayne always joined in with our family was she taught me that we are the family that love built. We have no room for hate, but we have to forgive. I pray god on your soul. And I also thank god that I won't be around when your judgment comes with him. God bless you."
