13 year old Could Get Life Without Parole

The kid in the picture above is 13 year old alleged murderer Jordan Brown. He is currently on trial for using his hunting rifle to shoot his fathers pregnant girlfriend 26-year old Kenzie Houk while she was asleep in their Pennsylvania home. Both Kenzie and her nearly full term baby died and now Jordan is on trial for two counts of homicide facing life without parole. This is a pretty hot topic case because he was only 11 years old at the time of the murders and he is now 13 facing the possibility of life in prison; a lot of people, including the boys Father, and the group Amnesty International claim that the punishment he is facing is too harsh for someone his age and that he did not know the consequences of his actions.

If you've read this blog log enough you already know what my viewpoint is gonna' be: lock this sick child up and throw away the key. At 11 years old you know not to shoot anyone, especially as an 11 year old who had been taught about gun safety and who was already an experienced hunter. If at 11 years old you're sick enough to kill somebody-let alone a pregnant woman-Lord help the world around you when you are a full grown man. He does NOT deserve to be in society whatsoever. PERIOD.

Onto another topic: I find it interesting that he is on trial for two counts of homicide-for both Kenzie and her unborn child-when abortion is a legally sanctioned practice.......but I mean I'm not going to say anything.
