Ep 127: The Case of Jamarion Lawhorn
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.
