Atterbury appears in court to face murder charge" Mother Shouts "My son is innocent. It wasn't premeditated" black criminality crime murder homicide armed robbery criminal justice reform
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Jermaine W. Atterbury, one of the three teenagers facing murder charges in the killing of 56-year-old Michael Robin Griffin, is in Broward County jail Friday.
When Atterbury, who turned 18 in late September, appeared in Broward County court Friday morning in Fort Lauderdale, his mother started shouting. "My son is innocent," she said. "It wasn't premeditated."
Coconut Creek Police Department detectives say Atterbury was driving a Chevy Avalance, when 17-year-old Jason Junior Prendergast, of Port St. Lucie, shot Griffin in an apparent robbery attempt. Detectives believe 16-year-old Dominic Soto was a passenger in the pickup truck.
Prosecutors charged the trio with murder. The crime scene was in the parking lot of the Walmart at 5571 W. Hillsboro Blvd., in Coconut Creek. Griffin was found dead next to his red Chevrolet Camaro.
