Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty highlighted the profound impact of the crime: "The fact that we could not charge this as a bias crime does not change the impact that this crime has had on making our trans community feel less safe. Across the country and in our community, hateful acts of violence against transgender people are on the rise. Every time a trans person is attacked, the entire community feels less safe."
Mary Moriarty also stressed the importance of the lengthy sentence: "While nothing can change the fact that Savannah's family will have to live with the pain of her loss for the rest of their lives, we asked for an extensive sentence to ensure that Mr. Bible will not be able to harm anyone else."
