"Our reaction was, thank God. Justice has finally been served for Michelle and Xavier. It's been over two years, and our family has endured so much trauma and pain. It's just been unimaginable. I'm just so thankful the state of Texas could put him away for life," Patricia Rodriguez, Michelle's sister, said. "Unfortunately [domestic violence] happens more than we want it to. I promised my sister and my nephew that I will do anything I need to advocate for domestic violence victims and make sure I'm able to help in any way I can with our story."
"I'm really relieved we did get justice and finally got some kind of closure and try to move on into the future. We're never going to get them back, but this is a little bit of closure for us," Pablo Rodriguez, Michelle's brother-in-law, said.
Patricia added she thanked everyone involved with the prosecution of the case.
