Station Fire: 'That's what I see every night'

Suzanne Fox, mother of Jeffrey W. Martin, said she made a 600-mile trip from Carson City, Nevada, "to try to explain to this court how overwhelmed I am by the death of my son."

Although she is a writer, she said, "I have no words. Even as I read these lines, I am so blurred with tears I can barely see the words on this page."

Fox spent most of her time on the stand drawing a verbal picture of what she thought the last moments of her son's life were like during the Station fire.

Detailing the emotions and physical pain he may have gone through, she said, "That's what I see -- every night. Every night of my life. My son, whose bright wit and intelligence ... enriched the lives of those around him ... knows his life is over."
