00:00I'm happy with the verdicts. I think Alicia Gilmore is a very lucky young lady in terms

00:24of the murder charge and the not dirty verdict on her. I'm happy with everything else. Three

00:33months of health during this trial, listening to all the amount of lies that have been put

00:41forward. I'd like to thank, I'd like to thank all of Australia, people that don't know us

00:46for all their love and support. It means so much. I'd like to thank the 91 witnesses and

00:56may I say most of them were young children that have scarred the life and that helped my

01:02son on the day. Not like Brodie Palmer saying that he helped my son. You did bull. I want

01:13to thank all my family and all my close friends. I want to thank the jury as well. I want to

01:21thank Senior Sergeant Detective Steve Cleal from Homicide who overseen Cassie's case and has

01:32been here every day, not just during the trial but each day through all our trauma. He is

01:38amazing and he is our family. I want to thank the WO Police Force. Honestly, they had their
