Melvin’s brother Robert said the following:
“My name is Robert Fabian. I would like a take a minute to say that we will never be able to replace my Brother Melvin. He and my younger brother Rick both spent a lot of time on the water fishing. Now Rick has a void in his life as well as I do. I’m Blessed to still have Rick. I also learned a lot about court, it’s not Perry Mason. Which is what I wanted to get to. I want to Thank Judge Garza , DA Constance Filley Johnson, Amanda, Police Dept and The Jury. Especially the jury. I watch them all five days they all were very attentive and are the ones that finally found us some Justice to this Sad and Terrible time in our lives.
Thank you ,
NO ONE WINS IN A MURDER CASE ! “
Melvin’s sister also released the following statement:
“It has been a very difficult time waiting almost 3 years to see what would happen. Melvin was a great brother and friend and my fishing partner. We miss him every day. We want to thank the VPD and DA’s office for all the hard work and the jury for getting justice done. Melvin will never be here to spend time with us but maybe another family won’t have to feel the emptiness that we have suffered.”
