Boy 11 on Trial for Indiana Murder Indictment
Cecil Burkett, age 11, stands trial in circuit court for a first degree murder charge over the shooting of Benny Slavin, a 7 year old, on Thanksgiving day in Ora. Testimony from children will drive the case as adults would face the same statutes. The defense asserts no shot was fired by Burkett, but prosecutors argue the boy must be held accountable. The community reaction frames Ora as a village torn between innocence and tragedy.
