U.S. Attorney Tom Moss, speaking outside the federal courthouse in Boise, said, "The jury speaks the mind of the community. I think by this verdict today they have given voice to the victims and the people who were injured by the circumstances in this case."

Moss said prosecutors had to show the graphic abuse video to jurors to prove "that the crime that was committed was especially heinous, cruel and depraved. This was the best evidence we had of that," adding, "that evidence was critical."
