Weaver also read from a statement in court, saying he would \"give anything to go back in time so that it never happened.\"



His attorney, Jeffrey Lichtman, pts terbaik sumatera told The Associated Press later Wednesday that Weaver \"grew up in the most horrific of circumstances with no parental guidance,\" in a system that didn`t look out for him.
