Following Cutts' sentence, Jessie Davis' mother, Patty Porter, said that she forgave him for killing her daughter. Davis' sister, Whitney Davis, did not share her mother's sentiments and told Cutts: "I don't believe you're sorry for what you did. You're sorry you got caught up in your lies. ... It disgusts me that you sit there and you don't care. If you cared, you would have told the truth. You would not have left my sister's body and my niece's body sit there in that field and rot."
