Ruben Ebron's mother calls for protest, removal of State Attorney

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Ruben Ebron’s mother is calling for a peaceful protest and removal of state attorney over charges related to the death of Lonzie Barton.

Wanda Ebron said she wants State Attorney Angela Corey removed after differing plea deals offered to her son and Lonzie’s mother Lonna Lauramore Barton.

She said on Facebook that she wants Corey held accountable for Lauramore Barton’s sentence.

The Jax Leadership Justice Coalition and other justice groups will join together in one voice calling for the removal of Angela Cory based on (incompetence) of prosecution and diparity of sentencing," Wanda wrote on Facebook.

Lauramore Barton was sentenced to five years in prison after she pleaded guilty to child neglect and lying to police.

Ruben Ebron is serving 20 years for dumping Lonzie's body.

Wanda Ebron is calling for a peaceful protest at the Duval County Courthouse on March 21.

The State Attorney’s Office released a statement in response:

We cannot prosecute cases based on what we believe happened. We prosecute cases based on the facts that we can prove. The Defendant is being held accountable on the charges in which we can prove. There are pending matters regarding this case and we will not comment further at this time.
