ranslation to English, but that was what she was saying.

According to the teen's father, Sofia Koval had recently moved from Ukraine and was displaying  behavioral issues, which he believed are from the war she witnessed in Ukraine and her being separated from her mother,  an arrest report states. He had taken her phone on the day of the killing to discipline her.

The state attorney's office said prosecutors met extensively with the victim's family before agreeing to the teen's change of plea, and said the victim's son, who is also the teen's father  fully supported the outcome and thanked the prosecution, defense and judge for how they had handled the case. 

The maximum penalty the teen had been facing was up to 15 years in adult prison.

The judge overseeing the case told Koval that if she violates any of the terms of her sentence in the future she will be sent back to him and could face that maximum 15-year sentence.

 Because of the heinous nature of the crime and after considering everything presented by the defense, I believe it is appropriate that this case was transferred to adult court and that juvenile sanctions were imposed,  Broward State Attorney Harold Pryor said in a statement Wednesday.  We considered all options and worked closely with the victim's family and with the defense attorneys at the Broward Public Defender's Office to come up with an appropriate resolution that holds her accountable but also factors in her age and the circumstances of this offense.
