The family was relieved that Sofie was finally in custody, and they hoped that justice would be served for the murders of their loved ones.
Sofie was charged with two counts of murder, and the trial was highly publicized. The prosecution presented a strong case, with ample evidence linking Sofie to the crimes.
The defense argued that Sofie was not in her right mind at the time of the murders, and that she had been driven to madness by years of abuse and trauma.

The family supported her in her efforts, and together they worked to rebuild their lives, one day at a time.
