“She does think about Dan Markel every single day. She thinks about his kids every single day.”Kawass, sharing a message from Magbanua to the Markel family. “She does think about Dan Markel every single day. She thinks about his kids every single day.” Although Tara Kawass, Magbanua's attorney, requested the jury for a lighter punishment while reading Magbanua's statement in court, the court still gave her a life sentence without the possibility of probation or parole along with two consecutive 30-year prison terms.

She also called out the investigation done by the authorities, claiming that a piece of evidence presented in court, an audio recording between Charlie Adelson and Magbanua, was one-sided.
