Fairfax County Double Murder

[Anonymous]

The Benson’s statement was very thoughtful.

It was gracious of them to acknowledge the pain of the Ryan family.

Are there victim impact statements for JPM sentencing?

JPM’s sentence seems to be the last unknown in this case. i think her cooperation was necessary. i also hope for some upward departure in her sentence.

looks like felony accessory after the fact is off the table for big momma because of the family exception. big momma should still catch a charge for obstruction even if it’s a misdemeanor.

Complete statement
The entire Benson Family would like to thank the jurors for their time, careful attention to
the evidence and for giving justice to Christine and our family. The jury would not have been able to render their unanimous decision without the investigation and persistence of the Fairfax County Police Department. We are grateful for the resources and effort that went into this case as well as the dedication. We recognize that this trial was complex and had several nuances that presented a unique set of challenges for which the Fairfax Commonwealth Attorney’s Office navigated
successfully and we thank them for it. We are grateful to all of those involved in this case including all of the forensic experts, all persons who came forward to provide information to the police, and the witnesses who testified on behalf of the Commonwealth. We are thankful to the Fairfax County
Sheriff’s Office for all of their assistance with the trial. Throughout this entire process we have been supported by an amazing group of Christine’s co-workers and friends. We thank you for your time and support during the trial. We are forever grateful to the Fairfax County Victim Services Unit who were there with us from the beginning providing support, guidance and resources.

Our sympathy is with Joe Ryan’s family as we understand the loss and grief that they are
experiencing. He, like Christine, was an innocent victim.

Christine was an honest, faithful, caring, compassionate, helpful person who was dedicated to her family, friends, and patients. She loved her family deeply and was devoted to her marriage. Christine suffered a violent, horrific, senseless death. The lies told about her after her murder were just as painful as her death. We are committed to ensuring that Christine will always be remembered as the beautiful person she was to everyone that loved her.

From forensics on her devices and accounts back to early 2000s they knew she had never so much as looked at a porn site. And, no evidence of an affair.

I mean, Christine did not seem the type to have an affair anyway. She was working an exhausting job full time, working out and training for various runs before she had a baby, then working full time and basically caring for her daughter and manchild.
