In August 2014, a tragedy unfolded at a playground in Kentwood, Michigan. A 9-year-old boy was deceased, and a 12-year-old boy was charged with murder.  How did this happen, and what would the criminal justice system do with such a young killer? Thank you to Vicki Seidl, from the Kent County Prosecutor’s Office, for speaking with me about this case.  Sponsors in this episode: - Care/Of - Court Junkies can get 50% off your first Care/of order, when you go to TakeCareOf.com and enter code junkie50. - Thrive Market - Go to ThriveMarket.com/COURTJUNKIE.

Ep 127: The Case of Jamarion Lawhorn

This week we discuss how 12 year old Jamarion Lawhorn felt so hopeless about his abusive home that he killed 9 year old Connor Verkerke while playing on a playground, because he thought that going to jail or being executed was his only way to escape the abuse.To support Murder Dictionary &amp; get access to rewards, perks, &amp; merch, please visit our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/MurderDictionaryPodcastIf you’d like shirts, mugs, phone cases, &amp; other merch, you can shop at https://murderdictionary.threadless.com/ This episode has been edited by Dimitris Kokkos.

Killer Kids: Jamarion Lawhorn

www.minormurderers.com Voicemail (615) 348-5562   Jamarion Lawhorn was a 12-year-old boy who was confused, suicidal, and “fed up with life”.
