TL;DR
In a statement on Monday, which would have been her 16th birthday, Celeste’s family demanded that Burke be subjected to execution. “If the death penalty were activated, it would be perfect for this kind of human being, devoid of feelings and emptiness inside, and without conscience, who only caused pain to our daughter, our family, and the world that supports our precious daughter,” read a family statement, released via their attorney. A separate statement from Celeste’s family said that they were “reliving unforgettable moments even though she is no longer here” – and that they were “experiencing so many emotions”.
