Hi, everybody. Cheryl Ackison here. I hope you enjoy this special from the archives edition of Full Measure After Hours.

Hi, everybody, Cheryl Ackison here. Welcome to another edition of Full Measure afterours. Today I speak with Marion County, Florida

0:22.7

Sheriff, Billy Woods, where one of the most horrific violent crimes committed by children is getting

0:29.2

ready to go to trial. As I began looking into America's juvenile crime wave, a fitting place to go seemed to be Marion County, Florida.

0:41.2

That's where a really horrific crime was committed last year. It's getting ready to go to trial pretty soon here.

whether innocent or guilty of this crime, there doesn't seem to be any denial that they were

1:51.8

all together the night that this happened, but the affect or the emotions, the lack of emotions

shown by this 12-year-old was really something as far as the

2:03.6

sheriff was concerned. And it turns out that across the country, children are increasingly

committing and becoming victims in serious crimes. The latest numbers I had found put out by the FBI

2:15.9

when I started looking into this were more than three years old.
