"This is horrific what we're being put through again after 36 years, in my particular case. And we are leaving the courtroom each time, feeling as though it just doesn't matter what we say," said Elizabeth Allen. Allen, who lost her husband Buddy in the mass shooting in 1988, expresses the anguish of revisiting the trauma years later. The emotional toll is palpable as victims' families confront a judicial process that reignites their pain.
"Buddy was the absolute love of my life," Allen said. Reflecting on her bond with Buddy, who was killed in the 1988 shooting, she recalls their shared life and love at ESL Incorporated, and how abruptly it ended when he was fatally shot.
"I did not realize that his kiss after lunch was the last kiss I would ever have from him," Allen said. Her poignant memories echo the suddenness of loss, illustrating both the everyday joys they shared and the horror of that day.
