00:00Today marks the end of the three-year ordeal Bryce and Kyson, Leighton and Logan Cove were
00:08cruelly taken from us in a senseless act of negligence by their mother, Javica Rose. This
00:13regard she showed towards our boys has been echoed throughout this whole trial and our
00:18family have had to endure three years of lies, delays and false narratives. This time has
00:23been a nightmare and the toll it's taken on our family cannot be overstated. We've heard
00:28speculation that the fire was caused by lights on the Christmas tree, false claims that the
00:33boys were left with a babysitter. We thank the jury for seeing past that and delivering
00:37us a true verdict. Bryce and Kyson, Leighton and Logan were left alone by their mother,
00:42Javica Rose, and she has been found to be responsible for their deaths. Bryce and Kyson,
00:49Leighton and Logan were beautiful, loving children who did not deserve this. The impact
00:53they made on us in their short lives cannot be measured and will never be forgotten. We
00:58miss them every day and will always hold them in our heart. While there will be better days
01:04to come, the hole that has been left by our children's deaths cannot be filled. Our family
01:10would now like to take some time to heal and let the boys rest. We wish to thank the courts,
01:15the members of the jury and our fabulous police investigation team for the work they have
01:20done to ensure that the boys' story is heard and that they have justice and justice has been done.
