She later told reporters outside Nottingham Crown Court that she “forgave" those who killed her son.
She added: “I haven’t been angry. This character that you see, that’s who I am — it’s not a front, and it’s the same character my son had.
“He was a good, loving boy.
"All he wanted to do was see his mum, be with his sisters ... he loved his daddy, loved his nana and his uncle.
“This takes a lot to stand here and do this, but I’m doing it anyway for him.”
