12-year old murder Brothers

Cristian Fernandez 12-years-old is being charged as an adult in the murder of his brother. He is the youngest person to be charged with murder as an adult in Jacksonville's history. If he is convicted he could spend the rest of his life in prison. Fernandez is being charged with first-degree murder. Police say that the crime was premeditated and that Fernandez intentionally killed his two- year old brother. Fernandez had violently shoved him into a bookshelf twice, causing his skull to fracture and cause massive internal bleeding. Medical examiner said David's death was a homicide, and was caused by blunt-force trauma. Mother, Briannela Susana was not home at the time of the incident. 

The police say that David was laying in his bed unconscious, thats when Cristian called his mother, who then came home. Susana,25, is being charged with aggravated manslaughter of a child and felony child abuse. She will remain in jail on a $1 million bond and if she is convicted she will face up to 30 years in prison. A doctor from St. Luke's said that if the child had been treated sooner he may have survived.  Fernandez's public defender said that all the blames belongs to his mother and that he doesn't deserve to me prosecuted as an adult. Fernandez's next court date will be October 31 , and his mother is to stand trail on Feb.27
