Mother of Murder Victim Opposes Death Sentences

February 23rd, 2016 by Mike Vasilinda

Darlene Farah lost her daughter when she was gunned down more than two years ago in a Jacksonville  cell phone store. Now she’s walking the hallways of the state Capitol on behalf of other murder victims families, asking lawmakers to do away with the death penalty. Her argument: overtime the case come up, she has to relive the horror of her daughters death.
