Lionel Tate Murder Convict


Lionel Tate is the name that has made a huge mark in the crime diary of the United States. This man has made his name as the youngest citizen of the States that has been convicted of a first degree murder and has been sentenced for lifelong imprisonment. He had really made a huge impact on the Judicial Department of the country.

Lionel Tates case is really very rare and added to that it will always be remembered as one of the toughest one, not in terms of solving it, but in terms of deciding the appropriate punishment. He was born on the 30th January 1987. They were the resident of Dade County in the state of Florida. It so happened that his mother used to run a babysitter at her home. One day her mother left Lionel alone with a 6 year old young girl Tiffany Eunick.

And when Lionel Tates mother returned home she found the girls dead body. Police investigation revealed that the girl had her skull and rib fractured. Later, it was found out that her liver had also been lacerated and that her brain has also swollen. It indicated that Lionel might have pushed her of the three-storied building. Whatever might be the case, it was quite evident that the 12 year old boy was the murderer.

Thus, the young boy Lionel Tate was arrested, much to the surprise of the neighboring people who could not just believe that the boy had actually committed a crime. He was taken up in front of the justice bench. Investigations proved the fact that he actually was the one responsible for the criminal offense. Judging by the cold, callous and incredibly cruel nature of the murder, the law sentenced him to life long imprisonment.

Now, the fact that led to such a lot of controversy is the fact that it was very hard for everyone to actually comprehend the fact that a 12 year old boy has willfully created the crime. Tates defense said that Lionel Tate must have unintentionally taken the life of the girl, may be while showing her some sort of wrestling tactics. However, nothing was enough to release him of his life long imprisonment. The sentence still remains to be a debated issue. Some say that that it was alright while others demand that justice system of Florida needs to be revised again. Lionel Tate
