Boy Pleads Not Guilty In Pregnant Woman's Death

The 11-year-old boy accused in the shooting death of his father's pregnant fiancée has pleaded not guilty to charges.

Jordan Brown entered the plea during a formal arraignment on Wednesday. He was arraigned as an adult in a Lawrence County Common Pleas Court.

It is the first step in moving his case through court.

However, Brown's defense attorneys say they still plan to ask a judge to move the case to juvenile court.

If convicted as an adult, Brown could face up to life in prison.

The boy is accused of shooting 26-year-old Kenzie Houk at the family's farmhouse in Wampum back in February.
