We need president Barack Obama and US Attorney General Eric Holder to protect the rights of 12-year old Cristian Fernandez in Jacksonville Florida. Cristian was barely 12 years old when he was detained in March 2011. Using a loophole State Attorney Angela Corey grossly over charged Cristian as an adult with first degree murder. Cristian has endured a life of abuse and neglect. Cristian is innocent. Corey made Cristian spend 23 days in adult isolation at adult Duval county Jail until the chief judge intervened. Cristian is a good kid and does not deserve to be mistreated as an adult because he is not. A pro bono team of defense attorneys is currently defending Cristian against this railroad attempt. Florida has no limit on the age that children can be charged as adults.
