Crawford's widow, Donna, wearing her husband's wedding ring on a chain around her neck, as she always does, stood up in court and told Lindsey she would like to forget him.
"You are not worth remembering anymore after I walk out of this courtroom today," she said, "except the day I get to read your obituary and then maybe, maybe I will find peace within this nightmare I relive every day."
Then the officer's daughter, Amanda Crawford, spoke.
"I understand that my father's sacrifice made him an eternal hero for the city of St. Petersburg," she said. "But my dad was my hero from the time I knew what a hero was, and I no longer have my superman."

He fires five shots," McCabe said, "and where does the last one go? Right in the back of a 25-year veteran police officer just doing his job."
The defense argued that Lindsey was a bullied teenager who grew up in the rough Bethel Heights neighborhood and was menaced by rival gangs.
That did not sit well with Donna Crawford, who said she also grew up in St. Petersburg.
"You claim to be this scared little boy who comes from the rough streets of south St. Pete and a community that failed you," she said. "But let me tell you, I come from the same streets of south St. Pete .?.?. but unlike you I didn't carry a gun, shoot and kill another human being nor blame anyone else for our choices."Teen Sentenced to Life in Fla.

Where was Al Sharpton?.....I guess this cop was not important to Al Sharpton and his friends...
Punk got what he deserved. Actually death sentence would have been better. Now tax payers gotta pay for his care and living expenses rest of his pathetic life.

Hahahahahahaha. Justice was served when someone was arrested, an actual investigation took place and it actually went to court. I hoped you warmed up before that stretch. Don't want you to pull a hammy.

Normally its more costly to put someone on death row than to let them live out their days in jail.
Soooo, why would Sharpton protest something when justice was served?
Lame premise.
No...where was Al Sharpton to speak up for the cop and speak against the behavior of this rotten teen and to address parents of teens like this that a lame excuse is not keeping you out of jail/prison.
