Summary

13 year old Cristina Pangalagan was left in a hot car in August in Colleton South Carolina for more than five hours, resulting in her death. Her mom, Rita, had been named 2014 Teacher of the Year in Walterboro’s Black Street Early Education Center. Rita said she went to her boyfriend Larry’s house and accidentally left Cristina in the car. Video obtained from Larry’s house, however, showed that they had taken Cristina in the house with them, then took her back out to the car and left her there for hours, even leaving the house in another car and returning home later. Cristina was born with severe intellectual and physical disabilities that left her unable to verbally communicate, and she was confined to a wheelchair, leaving her unable to remove herself from the hot car. Now Rita Pangalangan and her boyfriend Larry King will stand trial in Judge Clifton Newman’s courtroom for Cristina’s death. #HotCarChildDeath #CristinaPangalangan #RitaPangalangan #JudgeNewman #ColletonCounty #SouthCarolina #LarryKing #JusticeForCristina Please Note: All content including the presentation thereof on this channel is the property of 13th Juror and protected by U.S. and international copyright laws.

The The The Thank you. Hello, 13th jurors. Brandy Churchwell here, and I'm back with a brand new trial for y'all.

1:51.0

This week, we head back to Colleton County, South Carolina. Now, if that sounds familiar, it's because

1:56.4

that is where we spent week upon week at the beginning of this year as we went through the trial

2:01.6

of Alex Murdoch. Now, the judge for Alex Murdoch trial is Judge Clifton Newman, and I just

2:08.2

fell in love with him. I love the way he runs his court. He is efficient and he's fair. I love

2:14.4

how he takes his time to explain his rulings and he puts thought into it.

2:18.6

He is truly one of my favorite judges and I love the way he runs the room.

2:23.3

So the good news is we've got Judge Newman.

The bad news is this is a tough trial, y'all.

This one is not going to be a long one, so this series will only be a couple of episodes.

You could always tell when she was happy or sad.

3:02.8

Christina's mom is Rita Panglingen.

3:05.7

Now, Rita was a teacher, and she had actually been voted teacher of the

3:10.2

year in 2014. She and Christina's father were no longer together. So she was dating the co-defendant
