Heading: Sophia Torres's family

Text: Sophia Torres's older sister, Victoria Francisco, testified that Sophia's death seemed like a dream to her and that it was difficult for her to realize that she was dead. What hurt her most was thinking of all that [Sophia] went through and how she suffered that night before her death. She remarked that Sophia never harmed anyone. Sophia's oldest brother, Gilberto Torres, testified that Sophia lived with him in Phoenix for a time. Sophia had problems and was a shy person, but he had hoped that she would one day return to her normal self and become an independent, hard-working person again. When Gilberto attended her funeral and opened her casket, he could not recognize her face. He thinks about Sophia every day, especially for the brutal way she died. Sophia's father, Angel Torres, often thought of Sophia, felt her death very deeply, and explained that his family never had such a case. It was not fair for Sophia to have had that stroke of luck because she was not a bad person and never harmed anyone.
