Duval County Court, South Florida, Angela Corey, State Attorney
Christian's mother was 12 years old when she gave birth to Christian. His entire life has been shadowed by domestic violence, drug abuse etc. He was sexually assaulted by a cousin and beaten by his stepfather. When he was just two-years-old, Christian was found naked and dirty, wandering a South Florida street. The grandmother taking care of him was holed up with cocaine in a motel room. His 14-year-old mother was nowhere to be found. Now Christian himself is accused of murder and sexual assault.
Florida State Attorney Angela Corey wants Christian to be sent to life in prison for his crime. This is not how a civilized society should treat children. He should be treated as a child and given rehabilitation.
