Florida shooting victim Margaret Jagger in US court appearance
A woman from Bradford whose partner was murdered in Florida 20 years ago is due in court later to call for the killer to stay in prison.
Margaret Jagger's partner, Gary Colley, was fatally shot by two robbers as the holidaymakers rested in a lay-by near Tallahassee in September 1993.
The gunmen, Aundra Akins and John Crumitie, were later jailed for life for Mr Colley's murder.
Ms Jagger is expected to speak in court against Akins' early release.
Ms Jagger, from Wilsden, was left cradling Mr Colley in her arms as he bled to death when the gunmen opened fire on their hire car on the night of 14 September 1993.
After several trials, Akins, who was 14 at the time of the shooting, was sentenced to a minimum of 27 years in jail in 1997.
He was found guilty of firing the fatal bullet which brushed past Ms Jagger but killed Mr Colley.
Akins, now 34, is believed to be nearing parole due to his good behaviour in prison.
He is due in court in Monticello, Florida, as lawyers seek to have his sentence extended.
At that hearing, Ms Jagger is expected to deliver a victim impact statement supporting a longer jail sentence.
BBC Look North's Crime Correspondent, John Cundy, who has spoken to Ms Jagger, said she was "extremely nervous" about the court appearance.
"It's a very traumatic moment for her but she's there to tell the court the impact has never left her," he said.
