Old Newb I am deeply sorry for you and your daughter. I went through this with my estranged children. Only by the grace of God was it not this serious.
There are no suitable words of consolation I can offer. Just my prayers.
May God bless
Bernie

My daughters involvement, as per her explanations to me is threefold.
First, she was duped into picking up the victim and taking him to where the others waited.
Second, when the physical confrontation began she did nothing to stop it aside from yelling and screaming for it to stop. This was apparently an act of retribution, a beating, for some physical abuse the victim had previously caused the other female. The males, one in particular got carried away and went to far, choking the victim and causing his death. God forgive them.
And third, for not going to the authorities after the fact, though her own life was threatened and in jeopardy. She was constantly in their company and unable to go to the authorities safely until one point where she went home to her mothers and was immediately questioned by sheriffs and taken into custody.
She has been forthright and told everything at that point and will be the main witness for the prosecution against the others.
Why she is being charged so severely and lumped with the others as "party to a crime" I do not know. This now is in her attorneys hands, and Gods. Her attorney, brought in from a different city, says he was involved with a very similar case and believes my daughter was excessivley charged. In his previous, similar case, his client received probation.
I am trusting my daughters explanation and pray I am not being as naive as she was.
Thank you all for joining your prayers with mine, for the victim's soul and his family, as well as for my daughter, my family, and myself.
I pray as well, for those in Florida and elsewhere who are going through such devastating times.
God Bless,
OldNewb
