FLORIDA DOES IT RIGHT

By Bob Walsh


Nicole Jackson-Maldonado during a hearing at the S. James Foxman Justice Center in Daytona Beach, Thursday, Sept. 15, 2022.             Nicole Jackson-Maldonado during a court hearing

 

In June of 2021 Nicole Jackson-Maldonado, 14, and an unnamed 12-year old boy escaped a church-run children's home and broke into a private home.  They obtained guns and engaged Volusia County deputies who responded to the break-in.  They fired on deputies off and on for about 30 minutes when Jackson left the home with a shotgun and swung it on the deputies.  She caught two rounds including one center-of-mass and went down like a sack of wet laundry.  

She recovered and just pled guilty to various nastiness, including arson and shooting at the deputies.  She will do ten years as a guest of the state.

That's not enough time.

Kalifornia would have given her 6 months in Juvie and turned her loose with a promise to never do that again.
