And it won't bring Reeva back but our hearts still go out for her family and friends.</s>COSTELLO: Robyn Curnow is live in South Africa with more. What is the Steenkamp family saying?</s>ROBYN CURNOW, CNN CORRESPONDENT: They haven't said anything and actually they haven't said very much to the media here throughout this entire trial since Reeva Steenkamp died on Valentine's Day last year. I've been amazed sitting in court day after day how stoic, how strong her mother has been particularly. She's been there every day. And even during the most intense testimony, graphic visual images of her daughter's dead body. A lot of very biological details about the state of her body, her mother constantly sat still, looked ahead stony faced. She was a very brave woman and I -- if she does come out and statement, it will be interesting but so far, no.</s>COSTELLO: Are South Africans surprised by the verdict?
