Pa. boy, 12, to be tried as adult in murder:
I thought this matter was already settled yet here we are. Anyway 12-year-old Jordan Brown of Pennsylvania will be tried in adult court for the shotgun slaying of his step-mother, 26-year-old Kenzie Marie Houk.
In case you need reminding Brown allegedly shot in the Houk in the back of the head with a .20 gauge shotgun as she slept. Houk was also 8 1/2 months pregnant. Since help did not arrive in time the baby died also. Brown allegedly killed Houk over jealousy of the coming baby.
As I said in my first post about this people will say that a then 11-year-old is too young to know the consequences of his actions and once again I have to call bullshit.
Police had said Brown hid the weapon under a blanket so Houk’s 7-year-old daughter wouldn’t see it as he entered her mother’s room. Later, authorities say, he threw the spent shell casing along a path on his way to a bus and went to school.
If he didn’t understand the consequences of his actions then he wouldn’t have tried to cover up his crime.
