PHILADELPHIA - Kara Beth Borden, the 14-year-old who fled with her boyfriend, David Ludwig, after he is alleged to have gunned down her parents in the family's Lititz, Pa., home, was not involved in planning their deaths, her attorney said Tuesday.

What a load of bul shi*.

[dead]

What evidence do you have that the daughter was involved in planning the killings?

Have you shared any of your evidence with the prosecuters?

[i_dont_chat]

This is not your normal reaction to seeing one's parents shot to death -- ESPECIALLY for a 14-year old.

Something's not right with this girl.

[counterpunch]

Imagine that, an attorney who claims his client is innocent...
Who woulda thunk it?

[bonfire]

Well of course her attorney is going to say this.

The legal minds on FOX said he better watch what he says as the investigation is not over yet.

This is not your normal reaction to seeing one's parents shot to death --

What is?

[DoughtyOne]

The eighteeen year old perp stated that he went back to his car and was starting to roll down the street when she ran after him and got in.

If she didn't plan this with him, it's the shortest morning period on record.

[absolootezer0]

fine. what about aiding and abetting? maybe conspiracy after the fact?

[bonfire]

Well, certainly not running after the shooter so she can be with him~

I would suppose that a normal reaction would be HORROR!

[dead]

The fact that she left with him proves only that she's an idiot.

If they don't have any evidence (emails, text-messages, witness testimony) that she conspired with him to kill her parents, she is not guilty of a crime.

[bonfire]

Most people run AWAY from someone with a gun who has just killed in front of you. Not TOWARDS.

[Valpal1]

Ludwig said he told Borden that he had shot, and probably killed, her parents. He said he and Borden decided "to get as far away as possible, get married, and start a new life."

Typical magical thinking of the immature. Going to get a strong dose of reality now.

[Cicero]

There certainly is a screw loose here somewhere. I can understand a young couple so passionately in love, or thinking they were in love, that they would run away from home and parents together with the intention of getting married and never going back again.

But, all questions of basic morality aside, how could he possibly think that shooting her parents would help them escape pursuit? It just doesn't compute.

[DogBarkTree]

What's important is that a jury finds her "Not Guilty"

[DogBarkTree]

forgot the pic

[bonfire]

He didn't have his thinking cap on.

[not2worry]

I'd say call 911.

I have not seen anything on the murderer's parents and their reaction to their son's crime.

[DoughtyOne]

I won't quibble with you about it because technically you're right. There's more to come IMO. Makes little difference because she's 14 and won't do much real time anyway. Someone addressed the juvenile penalty on 'FoxNews' I believe it was, and it would be a little over two years.

[bonfire]

There has been nothing on those parents. Maybe they left town in the dark of night.
