Parents Of Samantha Green Issue Statement On Daughter's Arrest

The parents of Samantha Green, the woman accused of killing her 3-week-old infant, Justice Rees, issued a statement Sunday morning.

Randy And Laurie Green say their daughter loved Justice and would not do anything to harm him.

The statement reads:

"We love our daughter so very much. Our family is grieving not only for the loss of our grandson Justice, but also the possible loss of our daughter Sami Green. She has never been in trouble with the law. We know in our heart that Sami would never do anything to intentionally harm her newborn son Justice. She loved him very much. We can only hope for a fair and just trial in Sami's case. Her entire family supports her through this most unbelievable time in our lives. Because of the tragic events that unfolded this past week, a huge part of our soul has been taken and we will never be the same. This is the last statement our family will personally be giving until this case is resolved. We would like to take this time to thank the Yolo county sheriffs department and all the volunteers from around the state that helped locate our daughter and grandson. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and we hope for the best possible outcome for our daughter."

Authorities announced Samantha's arrest early Saturday morning – three days after Justice froze to death in a slough, detectives say.
