MARION COUNTY, FL (352today.com) – Jurors in the Fifth Judicial Circuit State Attorney’s Office found a 33-year-old woman guilty of murdering her father.

After hearing “compelling” eyewitness testimony and seeing “irrefutable” evidence against her, jurors found Christina Anne Adams guilty of Premeditated Murder in the First Degree and Attempted First Degree Murder with a Deadly Weapon.

The case dates back to September 16, 2022, when the Marion County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) responded to a call about a stabbing.

Deputies say they entered a residence off SE 70th Terrace in Ocala to find two victims with multiple stab wounds.

One victim, later identified as Richard Langer, told deputies that his daughter (Adams) had stabbed the both of them.

MCSO later conducted a traffic stop on Adams’ vehicle, which they say was also occupied by her wife.

Detectives took Adams and her wife into custody for questioning. Adams’ spouse told law enforcement she had just finished running a few errands before meeting Adams at a grocery store. She told deputies that she “did not notice anything out of the norm” regarding Adams.

Detectives then questioned Adams, who they say described a series of events that did not match up with her spouse’s statement.

After further questioning, Adams admitted to detectives that she attacked both victims after “getting upset” for being told to move out.

Judge Timothy McCourt sentenced Adams to two life sentences for the murder of her father, 74-year-old Richard Langer, and the attempted murder of another victim.

“Our fundamental duty is to seek justice, and in pursuing this goal, we strive to provide closure for the victims and their families while ensuring accountability for those responsible. Today, as difficult as it has been for the victims and their families, I believe we’ve gotten just that,” said Walter Forgie, Fifth Judicial Circuit Chief Assistant State Attorney.
