    1. This decision makes a murder prosecution in this case impossible.

    1. We are working closely with law enforcement partners to identify and intercept harmful substances entering the UK.

    1. To be at the courthouse on Friday and to sit there... it's a beginning to another chapter of this process of healing.
    2. Hearing his name read in there is tough.
    3. There is no solace in my healing journey to see someone else suffer.
    4. The pain of losing my son Ashtyn doesn't ease because someone sits behind bars.
    5. He was just such a super happy, really gentle soul, always looking to stand up for the underdog, the kids that got picked on.

    1. If [Law] hadn't been offering detailed instructions about how to take your own life, then the chances are my son would still be here. So again, for me, it's murder.
    2. I had wanted Law to face charges in the U.K. ... He really needed to face justice over here.
    3. The toll here is astonishing - multiple deaths including of children - and yet we don't see any coordinated attempt to really understand it.
    4. I would have preferred Kenneth Law to be tried here [in the UK]. I would have wanted to have seen him in court answering charges related to my son's death.
    5. Tom was a massive football fan and he was a good footballer as well. I miss the opportunity to enjoy the 2026 World Cup with him.
    6. Tom was somebody who really saw the joy in life. He would find humour in the weirdest places. I often think about his laugh.
