Cristian Fernandez case
In 2011 Corey's office oversaw a case in which 12-year-old Cristian Fernandez was accused of killing his two-year-old brother. Corey sought and received a grand jury indictment of Fernandez on charges of homicide and aggravated child abuse, and decided to try him as an adult.[2][16] This move, which made Fernandez the youngest person ever to face a murder charge in Jacksonville's history, drew criticism and protests to send the case to juvenile court instead,[17] but Corey held that the juvenile system was inadequate to handle a crime of this magnitude.[18] Corey stated she did not intend for Fernandez to stand trial or serve a life sentence, but would rather accept a plea deal.[19] Fernandez pleaded guilty to manslaughter in February 2013 and was sentenced to detention in a juvenile facility until his 19th birthday.[20] Fernandez, however, "wound up locked in solitary confinement in an adult jail prior to his court date."[2] When Ron Littlepage of the Florida Times-Union wrote a column criticizing her handling of the case, Corey fired off a two-page, single-spaced letter on official state-attorney letterhead hinting at lawsuits for libel.[2]

And...
Upon taking office, Corey terminated 10 assistant state attorneys, as well as "half of the offices investigators, two-fifths of its victim advocates, a quarter of its 35 paralegals, and 48 other support staff more than one-fifth of the office."[2][12][13][14] In 2010, the Florida Times-Union reported that Corey sent 230 juvenile felony cases to adult court in 2009. This amounted to twice the number of juvenile felony cases placed in adult court in the years prior to Corey becoming State Attorney.

Actually no she did not. She went into the attached garage but could not get out of the garage

Gray said in his 2010 deposition that the garage was locked and he knew she could not get out.

So, your solution to the problem would have just been for her to allow him to beat her up again...

I agree with that. But, judges should be free to add years for members of gun culture.
