An emotional speech from a grieving father led LIV Golf<\/a> star Phil Mickelson to call out the justice system.<\/p>\n

Mickelson saw the testimony by Stephen Federico at a House Judiciary Subcommittee meeting Monday in Charlotte, North Carolina<\/a>, following the stabbing death of Iryna Zarutska on the city\u2019s light rail less than two months ago.<\/p>\n

Federico\u2019s daughter, Logan, a 22-year-old aspiring teacher from Waxhaw, North Carolina, was visiting friends at the University of South Carolina when “career criminal” Alexander Dickey allegedly broke into a Cypress Street home on May 3 and shot and killed her.<\/p>\n

Dickey had been arrested 39 times on 25 felonies. Federico shared his grief and explained why he continues to push for change in the legal system.<\/p>\n

Mickelson was clearly moved, reposting Federico\u2019s remarks on X with his own message.<\/p>\n

“The judge(s) who let this person go should be held accountable and in jail,” Mickelson wrote.<\/p>\n

FATHER OUTRAGED AFTER DISCOVERING DAUGHTER’S ALLEGED KILLER SHOULD HAVE BEEN BEHIND BARS YEARS AGO<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Federico\u2019s testimony was raw and emotional.<\/p>\n

“Think about your child coming home from a night out with their friends, laying down going to sleep, feeling somebody come into their room and wake them. Drag them out of bed, naked, force on her knees with her hands over her head, begging for her life,” he said, fighting back tears.<\/p>\n

“She was 5-foot-3, she weighed 115 pounds. Bang! Dead. Gone. Why? Because Alexander Devante Dickey, who was arrested 39 goddamn times, 25 felonies, was on the street. \u2026 You will be sick and tired of my face and my voice until this gets fixed. I will fight until my last breath for my daughter. Stop protecting the people that keep taking them from us \u2026 please. You have the power. We put you into power to do what you have to do. We\u2019re asking you, we\u2019re begging you all to stop this.”<\/p>\n

Federico later appeared on Fox News\u2019 “The Ingraham Angle,”<\/a> where he explained his mission further.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m fighting for Logan. I have to be Logan\u2019s voice because nobody else will be. I don\u2019t have anybody fighting for her justice. Somebody has to fight for the innocent people who are left here. We have to make some drastic changes in our system. People like Alexander Dickey should not be on the street \u2014 people know that,” he said.<\/p>\n

The Lexington County Sheriff\u2019s Office confirmed that Dickey\u2019s criminal record spanned eight agencies. He was booked 11 times between 2013 and 2025, facing multiple burglary and larceny charges. A first-degree burglary conviction in South Carolina carries a minimum 15-year prison sentence and up to life in prison.<\/p>\n

Federico said the system gave Dickey more rights than his daughter ever had.<\/p>\n

“They cared more about making sure he wasn\u2019t put in prison than worrying about whether or not he was going to hurt somebody,” he said. “His crimes escalated every time he made a new one. He finally graduated to the jackpot and executed our daughter. We\u2019re still trying to hear from our South Carolina solicitor to see if he\u2019s going to get the death penalty or not. Obviously, it checks all the boxes that it does.<\/p>\n

“But they\u2019re more concerned about keeping criminals out of the prisons and institutions than they are to try to rehabilitate them. You can\u2019t rehabilitate some of these guys, it\u2019s just impossible.”<\/p>\n
