[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Marco Weiss ? "Of course we are very disappointed  and I can also say in Marco's name that he feels this verdict is unjust " Weiss' father  Ralf Jahns  told reporters in the family's home town of Uelzen  Germany.
 "This verdict says nothing about Marco's guilt or innocence " his mother  Martina  said  and suggested the court's motivation had been that "the long time in investigative custody had to be justified."
 The verdict follows a lengthy trial that dragged on as the court demanded various reports on the girl's physical and mental condition from British authorities. Some prosecutors and judges in the panel of three overseeing the case were also changed  delaying proceedings. It began as a closed-door trial  with Weiss still a minor and identified only as Marco W. It was later opened to journalists.
 Weiss maintained that he and the girl became close while in the Mediterranean resort of Side  near Antalya  and one night ended up in the girl's hotel bedroom where they had physical contact but no intercourse. He also said the girl had lied about her age and said she was 15 -- the age of consent in Turkey.
 He was arrested the next day  after the girl's mother filed a complaint with Turkish police  and he was held for eight months in custody until being allowed to return home after an appeal from German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
 On his return  Weiss wrote a book -- "Marco W. -- My 247 days in a Turkish prison" -- detailing his time inside the jail in Antalya.
 WeissWeiss' lawyer said he would appeal Wednesday's conviction  arguing that his client should have been cleared on grounds of insufficient proof and shortfalls in the investigation.
 "Marco Weiss should have been acquitted " Mehmet Asim Iplikcioglu said. "We will fight for that until the end."

âThis administration will stand in the way of  Kim âs desire to whitewash their murderous regime with nice photo ops at the Olympics. Perhaps thatâs why they walked away from a meeting or perhaps they were never sincere about sitting down â Ayers said in the statement.
 Kim Jong Un   through  his sister   invited South Korean President Moon Jae-in to Pyongyang to begin talks âsoon.â

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jacob Lerma ? FRIENDSWOOD  Texas (AP) — As  Jacob Lerma  surveyed the skeletal beams of  his  suburban Houston home that was flooded during Hurricane Harvey   he  kept muttering three words as  he  wondered if  his  family would ever be able to move back in: “I don’t know.”
Like many Texans whose homes were flooded during  Harvey  Lerma  faces mounting expenses and hasn’t paid  his  mortgage in months.  His  insurance payment wasn’t enough to rebuild  his  home and  he  was only offered a small loan after applying with the Federal Emergency Management Agency.  His  last hope is a possible buyout from the city of Friendswood. In the meantime   he    his  wife and two daughters will continue living with  his  parents.
During last year’s hurricane season  mortgage financiers such as Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac encouraged lenders to offer homeowners a forbearance — a temporary suspension or reduction in their mortgage payments — for up to 12 months.  Lerma  got one from  his  lender.
 Lerma  said  his  family is “at a pretty bad point right now” as  he ’s maxed out credit cards and emptied  his  savings. Yet   he  remains hopeful.
“We know we’ll get through it. We’re just riding it out ”  he  said.
