When asked how the Goldmans are dealing with the lengthy legal battle, Cook told Radar that the family will never find closure.
“For anybody here, be it any person who has lost their child, whether to not the wrongdoer was acquitted, it is still consuming,” Cook told Radar. “Anybody who says it’s not consuming is not from this planet. They live with the loss … and anyone who sees their children die before they do, the loss of a child can be very consuming. Fred rejects, as many people do, what’s called ‘closure.’"
“Closure for anybody for anybody who has lost a child is an obscene word."
