American Justice S01E03 - Reckoning

In the year Donald Trump was elected as president and against a backdrop of social unrest across America, our cameras follow prosecutors and cops in Jacksonville, the 'murder capital' of Florida, renowned for its tough approach to justice.

The courts face their toughest test - how to deal with children who kill. When he was 12 years old, Sharron Townsend was arrested for shooting a homeless man in the head. Now 14, he is facing justice. In Florida, children can be transferred to adult courts at the discretion of the state attorney, so there is no upper limit on Sharron's sentence. How will the judge decide his fate?

Sharron isn't the only teenage killer in the Jacksonville justice system. Jeremiah Hill shot a man during a gun trade when he was 13 years old. Now the justice system must decide how best to protect society.

Child crime is the key battleground in the election race to be Jacksonville's next state attorney. As voters go to the polls, will they choose to stick with incumbent Angela Corey's tough approach or vote for change through challenger Melissa Nelson?
