Resentencing Day 3

The 2 main testimonies that day were of Dr Castillo, clinical & forensic psychologist who talked about Alan’s ACEs (adverse childhood experiences) and Dr. Skolly-Danziger, pharmacy & toxicology expert who explained the consequences of the drugs (like those Alan was taking) on the brain.
There was also a testimony from Alan’s former friends’ mother who took him home when he was homeless at 14/15 who talked about how he was when he was in their home – which was, a respectful helpful kid, with no troubles.
Followed by another expert, former Florida State Prison Warden McAndrew, now prison/jail consultant. He talked about Alan’s exemplary prison record – zero violent disciplinary reports – and how he could be a productive prisoner if he were sentenced to Life Without Parole.
A stressful moment for me was when the State tried to introduce our family situation in the trial despite motions against it.
