Over the last few days, by now, you may have seen the 6-minute YouTube video of Sara Kruzan who, at the age of sixteen, was sentenced to “life without the possibility of parole” on a first-degree murder charge.  As fate would have it, at the tender age of eleven, this former Riverside, CA honor roll student, raised by an abusive and drug-addicted mother, met a 31-year-old pimp known as G.G.  Gradually winning over Sara’s confidence with gifts and sweet talk, by the time she was thirteen, G.G. was having sex with her.  When he began methodically grooming Sara for a life of prostitution, forcing her to peddle her body every evening from sun down to sun up, along with the job came the turbulence of his repeated physical, sexual and verbal abuse. 

Sara suffered from G.G.’s assaults over a three-year period until, one day, it all came to an abrupt halt, when she snapped and shot him to death.  Charged as an adult, Sara remorsefully admitted that she deserved to be punished for taking G.G.’s life.  It is the severity of the judge’s sentencing, however, that has made this, now 31-year old woman a topic that Jay King, Robert Redwine and our correspondent, Michael Harris, will examine today on “The Way I See It.”

In this country, there are nearly 2,500 children under the age of 18, serving “life without parole” sentences; 227 of whom are being held in California’s prison system.  The rest of the world, combined, can lay claim to twelve.  Please join us in our chat room and, if you would like to share your point-of-view on this topic, call us at 347-205-9366.
