But the jury not only convicted Indle King of first-degree murder, they fell in love with Anastasia.
On Feb. 24, three days after handing down their verdict, all but two of the jurors joined Anastasia’s parents at a graveside service. They held hands in a circle around the grave and prayed. Alevtina and Anatolyi gave them each a chocolate egg, one of Anastasia’s favorite treats, and the jurors gave the parents a plaque.
“In remembrance of Anastasia,” it read, “who only wished to follow her dream.”
I found this (found in the LA Times) to be such a heartfelt exchange between Anastasia’s parents and the jury. It really humanized for them as well.
