At the end of Monday's hearing, Smith called Stup's death an accident and asked for forgiveness.

 I took this innocent person from their family - not anything can bring that back,  Smith said.  If I can't get your forgiveness, I understand. May God bless you all. 

Stup was a native of northeast Virginia. She had moved to Houston in recent years, but was hoping to move to Boston with her boyfriend in the fall, her family said.

Her mother, Rachel Stup, said in a victim impact statement that Caitlin liked to cook, make art and play video games with her brother.

 With all of this, we lost parts of ourselves,  Rachel Stup said.  Happy things can make us sad. Family events are always missing a piece. You broke us with one unforgivable act. I can't forgive that.
