“To my future husband...” Stepfather of Laken Riley reads one of her last journal entries
Laken Riley’s stepfather, John Phillips, choked up as he read one of Laken Riley’s last journal entries, addressed to her future husband.
“To my future husband (…) I’m working every day, to become the best wife I can be,” Laken wrote in part.
Philips said Laken’s journal entry is “just a glimpse of what was tragically and brutally taken from her” and the family.
Philips, referring to a defense attorney’s statement referring to Riley’s life as one “that was apparently full of promise,” told the judge “I’m here today to let your honor and the entire world know that Laken’s life was not apparently full of promise - but instead, was abundantly and exceptionally full of promise and was a shining beacon in the life of everyone that knew her.
