NEIL Entwistle's parents vowed to continue fighting for justice and clear their son's name in a statement read outside court minutes after the guilty verdict was returned.
Both his father Cliff and his mother Yvonne spoke to the media and claimed that Neil hadn't had a fair trial in Woburn Massachusetts.

"We will continue to fight for our innocent son," said Worksop councillor, Cliff.

Entwistle's lawyers also spoke outside court and described this as a "sad case" for both families both in England and in the USA.

At 8pm BST the jury returned a verdict of guilty on all four charges was returned on Worksop man Neil Entwistle for the murders of his wife Rachel and nine month old daughter Lillian Rose.

Entwistle remained calm as the verdict was read out and expressed no emotion. Entwistle looked to his family opened his palms and shrugged his shoulders.

As the jury filed out of court, both brother Russell and mother Yvonne refused to stand with their husband and the rest of the people in court.

The Entwistle family was then hounded out to the lift and Cliff, a Bassetlaw district councillor, told the media pack they would make a statement outside.

As Rachel's family left the court, many held hands and wept.
They are currently making a statement to the press.

After speaking to a mass of media out the front of Middlesex Superior Court, Cliff, Yvonne and Russell were chased by countless journalists as they calmly returned to their hotel.

Entwistle's lawyers have since made a statement outside court criticising the jury selection process.

Defence lawyer Elliot Weinstein said the verdict will be appealed, a mandatory process for first degree murder in the US.

He added that it had been a very sad case for both families involved.
"I am confident the case will meet a successful review in the supreme court because of that we cannot comment about the trial evidence and will not," he said.

"We believe that under a different environment people selected to hear this evidence would have reached a different result."

I think I speak for all of us here in Boston when I say we, in no way, hold the UK responsible for the crimes of NE. NE did this by himself. We like the UK, we like the British people, and in no way do we tar you with the same brush. I too studied abroad in the UK and fell in love with London. The Brits are a wonderful class of people. No need for anti-US or anti-UK sentiment. I am glad that our friends from across the pond agree with the US verdict: Guilty.
