U.S.: 11-year-old’s lawyer: Let him go to juvenille court instead of jail

  • I want him to be occupied and busy and back, essentially, in school. I wouldn’t say he’s in good spirits. He’s confused. He looks and acts like a typical 11-year-old.
  • Dennis Elisco • Attorney for Jordan Brown, the 11-year-old boy accused of killing his dad’s pregnant girlfriend, Kenzie Marie Houk. The prison didn’t have supplies to accommodate an 11-year-old; Brown is wearing far-too-large prison clothing, including pants cuffed up “about 10 times,” according to Elisco. • source
