Anthawn Ragan Jr., convicted of first-degree murder for killing drug dealer Luis Miguel Perez, was sentenced to life in prison with no parole. After the jury deliberated for just over an hour, they opted for life imprisonment, reflecting a growing trend in Miami-Dade against the death penalty. In the courtroom, Ragan showed some emotion, while his mother reacted with tears. The victim's mother commented on her relief that Ragan would not hurt others again, highlighting the impact of the case on both families.
At least he won't be out on the street anymore hurting families like he did mine, said Madrestia Figueroa, the victim's mother.
This jury displayed the power of God, said Ragan's defense attorney Tony Moss after the decision was announced.
