Testimony set to continue in Pa. boy's murder case

NEW CASTLE, Pa. - April 11, 2012

Jordan Brown is now 14, but a Lawrence County judge has closed his trial to the media and all spectators beyond close family members of Brown and the dead woman, 26-year-old Kenzie Houk.

Family members have said they've been told to expect the trial to last for three or four days, and that Judge John Hodge may not immediately render a verdict once the testimony ends.

Brown's family and friends continue to claim he's innocent of charges that he shotgunned Houk as she lay in bed in the farmhouse she and her two young daughters shared with Brown and his father in February 2009.
