FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Lionel Tate, the Florida youth once sentenced to life in prison for the death of a playmate, can return to his mother's home while he serves probation, a judge ruled Monday.
Tate, 17, the youngest person in modern U.S. history to be sentenced to life in prison, was freed earlier this year, but then was accused of violating probation in September.
He was moved to another home, but that family requested that he be removed because the frequent visits by probation officers were too stressful, authorities said.
On Monday, Tate's legal representative, Howard Greitzer, told the judge the teen wanted to return home.
