Synopsis

Documentary that examines the case of Nathaniel Abraham. On October 29, 1997, a sniper opened fire in a parking lot in Pontiac, Michigan. One bullet to the head killed 18-year-old Ronnie Greene. Police received a tip about the identity of the killer and officers were dispatched to a local public school to arrest a 4-foot, 7-inch, 65-pound sixth grader named Nathaniel Abraham, age 11. He was celebrating Halloween in full costume and face paint. He told the officers that he had been firing a stolen rifle at trees, but that he hadn't been shooting at anyone. Under a newly enacted Michigan law, prosecutors charged the preteen with first degree murder.
