Boy faces adult trial in death of Pa. woman, fetus
People are up in arms over the fact that Jordan Brown, who was at the time 11, “allegedly” shot Kenzie Marie Houk, then 26 years old and eight and one-half months pregnant, in the back of the head while she was sleeping. A state trooper testified that the shell that Jordan Brown threw away as he was walking to his bus (and then went to school) came from Brown’s own 20-gauge shotgun. Prosecutors believe the boy was jealous of Ms. Houk and her unborn son. Police stated that he (Brown) hid the weapon under a blanket so that Ms. Houk’s 7-year-old daughter wouldn’t see it.
At what point do we realize that this was a coldly calculated MURDER and sentence him appropriately? Does he get to live out his years in a youth facility, where he’ll get therapy and blame it on a lack of love from his father, only to be released early because there is no real “prison” facility for children?
Personally, I believe in the death penalty. An eye for an eye. That woman and her unborn child didn’t get to live. Why should he?
If you refuse the death penalty, then put the little shit in full lockdown, I say.
