Murder of the Week

The local D.A. doesn't know what he will do about Jordan Anthony Brown, 11, who has been charged in the murder last Friday of his father's pregnant girlfriend. The boy is staying in an adult jail, and authorities there say it is simply not suitable for him to be there.

This is a classic case of jealousy on the part of the boy, and too-easy access to firearms. Apparently his dad gave him a shotgun for Christmas.

In the old days, boys that age who were interested in firearms received BB guns. Not anymore, apparently. It goes without saying the boy shouldn't have had access to guns at all or the father should have locked up all weapons in his house and not have allowed the boy any unsupervised access.

Jordan's mugshot has been published. Looking at those eyes, they are the eyes of somebody without a conscience; I call them "dead eyes."
