Sofia Koval, 14, was arrested in Florida after her father came home to find his mother unconscious and covered in bruises. According to an arrest affidavit, the teenager told him the elderly woman scratched her, so she had to defend herself. Yevheniia Koval, 79, was pronounced dead at the hospital. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber unpacks this case and gets insight from retired Florida judge Elizabeth Scherer on potential adult charges.

I was in a detainee at Broward regional Juvienile detention center and I saw this same girl and she kept staring at me and I just wondered what she did I did not think it was this.
Praying she will get away with it. Psychopath.
0:14 The look of disbelief from the Judge.
This makes me so angry and just my stomach drop
Of course in Broward County. Only 10 mins from my house. Been watching it on the news. So sad.
She acts like an adult. She makes gestures that adults do; cross on the chest, leans back and puts hands behind the neck. A person who acts like an adult should be sentenced as an adult.
You see what these cell phones are doing to us
What going on in America???
Furiously tapping through your awful ad reads
She’s as scummy as Zilinsky
I lost both my grandmas within 6 weeks of each other and she kills hers. I miss my grandmothers dearly. I dont care who you are, its not right to kill anyone. I dont care if child or adult. Thou shalt not kill.
Average American Caucasians in 2024
Of course it’s Caucasian
Giving birth to serial killers.
She has no remorse
The children have been failed by a world invested in the wrong things – social media should be on trial.
These comments are nuts. This is a child (14) who went through an absolutely brutal war JUST RECENTLY. Everybody else commenting that they knew better at 14 didnt experience full blown WAR a year ago. Sheesh. Im normally in support of kids being held strictly accountable, but this has miitigating circumstances written all over it. She probably has PTSD.
She did an upside down cross as a prayer, it’s a catholic thing, that’s y I’m Christian. She isn’t praying to anything. Look at the cross she made with her hands closely, it’s upside down.
If she couldn't follow the rules at home then "THEY" will make sure she follows them in prison.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
0:10 “Your honor I’d like to move for a mistrial. Your blatant eye roll has done irreparable harm to the defense.”
Usual Demographic
psychopath in the making
SICK
Anytime I remember that my grandma is only growing older, I text or call her and say “Thinking of you, I love you!”
…. This YouTube channel is fraud and everything you see is nothing but actors….
She's a teenager & probably a spoiled brat as she's an only child & she's away from home. They all act out. However, not all teens kill their grandparent over a cellphone. She chose to beat her senseless, and as a result, she should be tried as an adult. In all that footage, not once did I see a tear or any kind of remorse.
Why is it ALWAYS Florida
She should be locked up for life without the possibility of parole!!! Beyond evil!!!!
I reaaallyyyy don’t like and lost all respect for retired Judge Scherer. I wish you didn't have her on all the time
In the last 6 years, i have lost 4 grandparents and my dad. I'd give anything to go back to a time when i had them. I can't imagine doing anything other than cherishing your grandparents.
Sixteen year old girl here, living with her granny, I love my granny and I couldn't imagine ever hurting a hair on her body. I don't know how anyone could do that.
