9-year-old charged with murder in Illinois fire that killed 5

EUREKA, Ill. — A 9-year-old child accused of causing a mobile home fire that killed three children and two adults in central Illinois has been charged with five counts of first-degree murder.Peoria Journal StarThe April 6 fire killed a 1-year-old, two 2-year-olds, a 34-year-old man and a 69-year-old woman at the Timberline Mobile Home Park near the village of Goodfield, about 150 miles southwest of Chicago.

Minger said he scoured multiple reports on the fire before proceeding with the prosecution. Woodford County Coroner Tim Ruestman said the fire was started intentionally. “Nine-year-olds don’t know that Santa Claus doesn’t exist. They don’t know people die and don’t come back to life,” he said. “I don’t know if 9-year-olds can form intent to commit murder.”

Clark spoke to The Associated Press Tuesday by phone from New York, where she was attending the official release of

5 charges of first degree murder. That means they believe he fully intended and planned to kill them. I'd like to know more about that than about how difficult it is to wrestle with the morality and paychology.

🇺🇸 Yes, it´s an tragedy. The most serious crimes we have. Because what happens, when sheep holder Allaha-Al Capone - WITH DOG and GOD - the 'state’s attorney' by his hypnotised 🐏'Sheeps' in Illi-Nois?

This article talks about nothing but the boy’s age. What about the crime? When and how did the boy go about doing this? Where’s the actual story about how a family lost their lives..

This is a stupid waste of taxpayer money. Even if you manage to get this to trial, it will be appealed in a heartbeat.

What the fuck is up with this country that a DA can charge a 9 year old? Is this the middle ages?

😞While these multiple deaths are horrible; it’s ridiculous to charge a 9yr old. —-“Nine-year-olds don’t know that Santa Claus doesn’t exist. They don’t know people die and don’t come back to life,” he said. “I don’t know if 9-year-olds can form intent to commit murder.”

This is idiotic beyond belief.
