Update on an old story, with some interesting new twists. Evidently the two month old who was killed belonged to Jackson and Griffin, the 4 yr. old who is being fingered as the murderer by Jackson (baby's mother) is not related to Jackson, at least two of the older siblings in the home at the time of the murder are Jackson's.

And Jackson making the following statement.

"I wish they would just leave it alone," Felicia Jackson, 25, said last week. "I wouldn't want to think that either of my children would kill their brother."

Quite possible that she is covering for one of her older children.

There have been cases where adults have committed murder and successfully blamed kids who (as in this case) had little or no ability to defend themselves given their youth/maturity level/verbal skills, etc. I have read a book by Jim Fisher, a crime writer, professor of criminology and ex-FBI man which detailed three such crimes. It's a horrible thing to let a child grow up with when it's a lie made up to exonerate another responsible party.

Obviously I don't know what happened in this case, but I do question the ability of most four-year-olds to successfully heft a brick and whack somebody with it even if using both hands.

There was a case in Georgia several years ago in which an adult woman reopened a case where she was accused of killing her younger brother. She had lived for years with that guilt and having not recollection of doing it. It turned out it was her stepfather who killed the child and blamed her. He was convicted.

Is the 9 year old a child of the 25 year old?
