Two life prison sentences for woman who killed her dad and tried to kill a second person

On April 17, the Fifth Judicial Circuit State Attorney’s Office, headquartered in Ocala, Florida, announced that a jury didn’t need much time to deliberate after hearing compelling witness testimony and observing irrefutable evidence before finding 33-year-old Christina Anne Adams guilty of Premeditated Murder in the First Degree and Attempted First Degree Murder with a Deadly Weapon.

Adams was sentenced by Judge Timothy McCourt to two life sentences for the murder of 74-year-old Richard Langer (Adams’ father) and the attempted murder of another victim whose name has not been released.

Background: On September 16, 2022, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call for service in reference to a stabbing that had just occurred. Responding deputies entered a residence off SE 70th Terrace in Ocala, where they located both “Victim One” and “Victim Two” – each with multiple stab wounds.

While rendering aid to both victims, Victim One, who was later identified as Richard Langer, stated to officials that his daughter stabbed them. A law enforcement alert bulletin was issued and shortly later, a traffic stop was conducted on Adams’ vehicle, which was also occupied by her wife.

Both the defendant and her wife were taken into custody for questioning. The spouse relayed to law enforcement that she had just finished running a few errands before meeting the defendant at the grocery store. She indicated to detectives that she did not notice anything out of the norm for the defendant nor did the defendant mention any altercation prior.

When Adams was questioned by detectives, her series of events did not match up with the statements given by her spouse. Upon further questioning, Adams finally admitted to detectives that she attacked both victims after getting upset for being told she’d have to move out.

This case was prosecuted by Assistant State Attorneys Toby Hunt and Amy Berndt.
