“Mr. Nunez and Ms. Wheeler, I understand you’re both young…and you’re trying. You both have jobs. You’ve created a good life for Toriana according to the evidence presented and the testimony from the other adults in her life. There’s no doubt in my mind she loves you both equally and that you both love her a lot. I could hear it in your voices when you were on the stand and let me tell you, I’ve come across some lousy parents in my day, but one thing I’ll never do is punish parents who’re trying.”
