The Brewers said they'll be in court on Monday to see Spangler in person.
“He knew. He knew what he was doing. He knew that 1st bullet, what it gave her but yet he continued to pump them bullets in my daughter,” Ron Brewer said.
Spangler is accused of killing Hearne and injuring officer David Goodrich.
“As far as an eye for an eye, I believe he deserves exactly what he had done. and i believe he deserves to rot in hell. where he came from. He came from out of pits of hell and he needs to go back to the pits of hell,” Ron Brewer said.
Hearne's family says Monday will be long and emotional.
“And it brings the anger out, Chris. It really brings the anger out,” Trish Brewer said.
