...Eappen: Right. In the end she pulled a big one over us, and I feel like she's done it to the American public and maybe to the judge himself. The truth is horrible. It is too much to deal with--that someone could be abusive intentionally and, above all, to a baby. You can give excuses for this behavior, but it is still murder. No one can imagine what she was thinking--I wish I could understand it. It is nothing a normal person would do. And it was not a one-time event. She is also responsible...
...Eappen: I wanted to be sympathetic at the beginning. At the hospital, I was making excuses for her. I wanted to believe Louise didn't do it.

We are not vengeful people, but we have a strong sense of right and wrong and of justice. It makes you come out stronger than you wanted to be. Our innocence is lost. We will never trust the same way again, and we were very trusting people...
...Eappen: She had told me once she did not want kids of her own. So that was why I said that. And if she ever had that joy, I don't think she deserves it. I can have a bad feeling about her. That's an honest feeling I have...
