my son is finally coming home. i dont have the words to describe how much this means to our family and i cant thank you enough for sticking by us through this nightmare.
My heart breaks everyday my son is in prison, the most negative unhealthy place in this world.He's there for an for an accidental shooting at 17 years of age. Vice President Dick Cheney was involved in accidental shooting and received absolutely no charges. A convicted 26 year old felon received 6 years for an accidental shooting in Broward County. My son and his friend were looking at a gun when it discharged. My son was sentenced to 12.25 years. That's more than anyone else in Broward County has been sentenced for an accidental shooting. He was a juvenile at the time! Since my son's been in prison he has seen some of the most violent, inhumane acts. No one should have to endure that type of pain on a daily basis for an accident. He has already been incarcerated for 3 years and 6 months with nothing positive in his life but his family. We try to visit every weekend, but he is far from home. It becomes financially impossible at times. My son should have been sentenced to house arrest where his family could help him grieve and heal. He should have been sentenced to a youth offender's program and he also should have been given community service. They should have made him visit every school in the state of Florida to talk about this tragedy and help save other people from experiencing this pain that is felt daily on both sides. I ask you to sign this petition. We need many signatures! I hope, with our signatures, my son will be transfered into some other program. He needs a program that will bring positive, instead of negative things into his life. Prison is not a constructive place. Please help! Please sign, and pass this on. Thank you!
in 2012 my son 25 fired a gun at a car intentionally , after thousands of dollars and the best criminal Atty in Broward Sebastion Cotrone, my son did 7 months county jail and 10 yrs probation. This charge needs to be downgraded, but can only be done with a good Atty. Best of luck and I hope your son comes out and follows the positive things in life.

This young man does not deserve a decade in jail. His life will ever be changed from the incident. Please let him grow as an adult, as he loves his family, and is no threat to society. This accident is already apart of his life for he will never forget. My prayers go to the family that lost their beloved son.

Accidents happens to everyone. They can happen anytime, anywhere to anyone. I played with guns as a child, and I guess I'm just lucky no one ever got hurt. People make mistakes, it doesn't mean they're criminals.

JoJo shouldn't be where he is never have in first place. I've known JoJo all his life and he has never once shown any tendencies to hurt anyone much less what he is in there for. The justice system should be ashamed of themselves putting him where he is they should have done exactly what his mom has suggested. he is a great kid
