Quote
"It's clear that Zoe's short life was far more chaotic and neglectful than his was. We’ve heard this referred to as an accident, and it clearly wasn't. It was brutal treatment of a seven-year-old that led to her death. This went far beyond horseplay and poor judgment to brutality."—Robb Miller, of the Weld County District Attorney's OfficeThe Jonestown Breeze: Lamar Roberts sentenced to 36 years in Zoe Garcia death (January 16, 2009)-
