"When you shot Moriah in the heart, you shot me in my heart" - Mother of Moriah Wilson's gut wrenching statement following news of Kaitlin Armstrong being found guilty of murder

Kaitlin Armstrong has been found guilty of the murder of former Gravel star Moriah Wilson and looks set to spend up to 99 years in prison.

Although justice has now been served, for Moriah Wilson's family the result still doesn't bring back their loving family member. "Kaitlin Armstrong. I'm not sure my words can penetrate your heart, but I'm going to try. I hate what you did to my beautiful daughter. It was very selfish and cowardly," Karen Wilson reacted in heartbreaking quotes collected by Cycling Weekly. "It was cowardly because you never chose to face her woman to woman in a civil conversation."

"She would have listened. She was an amazing listener. She would have cared about your feelings...if you allowed yourself to actually know her, you never, ever would have wanted to hurt her," continues Moriah Wilson's mother. "You ruined your life, your family's life, our lives, and crushed the lives of many more. When you shot Moriah in the heart, you shot me in my heart. You shot Eric and Matt in the heart."

"I pray for your healing. The only way that can begin is to admit your guilt. Only your actions can seek forgiveness. And not just from us, but most importantly, from your creator," she concludes. "There is no winner in this story. Your actions have caused all sides to suffer. There is a ripple effect of sorrow upon sorrow upon sorrow. Moriah is free of this sorrow, though. She is more alive today than any of us here."

Judge had to double-check, 90, not 9! 🙏 #justiceforMo #kaitlinarmstrong
