Miscellaneous Sites and Topics

Florida State Statutes - Title XLVII Chapter 985 - Section 225
Statute under which Alex and Derek King were tried as adults. Rather than reinforce the juvenile justice system in Florida, legislators passed this "catch-all" legislation that allows children of any age to be tried as adults if the sentence for the crime mandates life in prison without parole or the death penalty.
